Appoints Ben Jenkins, Payments and Software Innovator, as Chief Technology Officer
The fintech company, which is primarily involved in helping with e-commerce experiences, was in the news yesterday after it made an announcement about a key executive announcement. AppTech announced that it appointed a new Chief Technology Officer in the form of Ben Jenkins, who is going to be a part of the Executive Management Team at the company going forward.
It may be a significant appointment for AppTech but it was clear that investors did not quite look at it that way yesterday and that was apparent in the selloff that ensued. In this context, it is important to take a look at Jenkins’ credentials.
Before joining AppTech he had been working with Innovations Realized and while working there he had been responsible for the digital transformation that had taken place at the digital platform operated by AppTech. Hence, it can be said that Jenkins is intimately accustomed with one of the company’s main products. It now remains to be seen if the AppTech stock can bounce back in the coming trading sessions.
