Nairobi — Montran has appointed Wohoro Ndohho as Regional Executive Director for its Africa operations as the payments and capital-markets technology firm moves to deepen its presence in a region pushing to modernise financial infrastructure.

Ndohho, who has over 20 years of experience in finance, infrastructure and investment advisory, will be based in Nairobi and oversee the company's regional expansion and client partnerships.

His role includes guiding the rollout of systems used by central banks and financial institutions as countries upgrade payment rails and cross-border platforms.

The company's decision to establish a dedicated Africa office follows years of work with institutions looking to enhance the security, speed and resilience of their financial systems.

"Wohoro's appointment underscores our belief that Africa's financial modernization deserves both global expertise and local leadership," said Alexander Esca, CEO of Montran.

"His proven leadership, regional insight, and commitment to impact align perfectly with Montran's purpose: to unify the world financially."

Ndohho said the expanded presence reflects a stronger focus on supporting African institutions working to build modern and interoperable payment and market-infrastructure systems.
