Virginia Brailey, who was appointed as chief executive officer ("CEO") of Xemoto in November 2021, has decided to resign to pursue a new opportunity.

"On behalf of Xemoto's board of directors (the "Board"), I would like to express our deep appreciation for Virginia's dedication and contribution to building and driving Xemoto's business," said Adam Szweras, co-chair of Xemoto. "Her tireless efforts spearheading commercial sales and catalyzing substantial revenue growth have laid a solid foundation for further growth. We wish her continued success in her future endeavours."
With this transition, the Company is delighted to announce the appointment of Brandon Mina as the new CEO of Xemoto, effective immediately. Mr. Mina is an accomplished business leader and a dynamic marketing executive with a diverse entrepreneurial background. Mr. Mina has an impressive track record of driving growth across various industries, including insurance, technology, e-commerce, and entertainment.
"Mr. Mina's expertise in crafting effective marketing strategies, combined with his values-driven leadership style and proven ability to innovate and drive positive business outcomes, make him an ideal choice to lead Xemoto forward," said Mr. Szweras.
"Xemoto has a truly unique and timely offering that has the potential to change the way companies engage with influencers and use this leverage to reach sizeable and highly responsive audiences," said Mr. Mina. "I am both honoured and grateful to lead Xemoto through this exciting new chapter, and I thank the Board for their continued support and confidence. I am eager to get to work with our talented team to help drive further growth, expand our digital offerings, and deliver value to our clients and stakeholders."
