Fora Financial, a leading fintech lender for businesses, is excited to announce the appointment of Michael Air as its new Chief Technology Officer.

"Michael's extensive experience will allow us to execute on our ambitious strategy for the future" said Jared Feldman, CEO.

Air's notable achievements include his role as Director of Engineering at Avant/Amount, where he launched the firm's mobile platform and built out Avant's credit card infrastructure from the ground up. He and his team also developed the pioneering white label solution that contributed to Amount's spin-off.

As the founding CTO of CloudPeeps in New York, Air established an online marketplace for freelance marketers, content creators, and social media experts. Most recently, as VP of Technology at The Well, a point-of-service health and wellness provider, he spearheaded the creation of a digital-booking platform that increased online bookings by 40% and built a comprehensive data warehouse. Air has also applied his technology expertise to ReachOut, an online community in Sydney, Australia, supporting young people dealing with depression and substance abuse.
