Komainu, a service provider of digital assets, has appointed Edward Marlow as ‘Taishi’ for Africa under its ambassador programme.

The programme, Komainu Taishi, aims to strengthen the company’s global reach through the appointment of local representatives in countries where Komainu supports the adoption of digital assets.

Marlow will join the board of directors of Komainu MEA FZE, Dubai, and will be responsible for expanding the company’s footprint in Africa. This will include developing commercial opportunities with local markets and supporting law enforcement agencies.

Prior to his new role, Marlow served as managing director in investment banking for Deutsche Bank, covering financial transactions across Sub-Saharan Africa. He has spent over 20 years in the region, focusing on market-based investment solutions.

Co-CEO of Komainu, Paul Frost Smith, comments: “Komainu Taishi is a key strategic initiative as we look to build upon our success and achieve growth in certain developing markets. [Marlow’s] guidance and understanding will be critical as we roll out our wide range of services across this geography and I am delighted to have him on board.”

Marlow adds: “I am looking forward to helping these economies on their path to wider adoption of digital assets with safe and reliable infrastructure, where Komainu is really the leading innovator.”
