Prior to assuming the CTO role, Mr. Ashraf served as an advisor to Hapbee and was instrumental in shaping the Company's product roadmap and long-term technology strategy. Mr. Ashraf's insider purchase aligns company leadership with shareholders, demonstrating strong internal belief in Hapbee's roadmap and reinforcing the Company's focus on transparency, governance, and sustainable growth. "We are thrilled to welcome Ahsan to the Hapbee executive team," said Yona Shtern, CEO of Hapbee. "As an advisor, Ahsan has already made a significant impact on our product strategy and innovation roadmap. His decision to personally invest in the Company through this financing reflects strong alignment with our vision and sends a powerful message to our investors and stakeholders—that our leadership team is deeply committed, both operationally and financially, to Hapbee's continued success."
