Effective immediately, Asset Tarabayev is promoted to Chief Product Officer, and Alina Rakhamimov is promoted to Chief Technology Officer, both of which are newly created roles at QB. Both new executives remain members of QB’s Executive Committee. “Alina and Asset have worked closely over the past year and a half, spearheading countless advances to QB technology,” said Christian Hauff, QB CEO and Co-Founder. “We fully expect their collaboration not only to continue but expand, as Product and Technology work closely with all stakeholders to advance QB’s ability to deliver to our customers.”
