Nepal’s leading PSO FonePay has appointed Diwas Sapkota as its new CEO. He took the helm in his new post on Wednesday, 28th April.
But he is not a new entry into the company. Previously, Diwas Sapkota served as the company’s Assistant CEO. So, the leap to the new post is a welcome promotion for him.
Sapkota is a seasoned professional in Fin-Tech with years of experience at financial institutions in his profile. He started off at Everest Bank and has 15 years of experience in his workspace.
Besides, he has served at Nepal Clearing House Limited before serving as the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) at FonePay.
