Yong Yau Goh is an award-winning branding, communications and marketing leader with more than two decades of experience in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. As Chief Marketing Officer at BullSwipe, a global fintech platform converting crypto to spendable fiat instantly, he built and led the go-to-market architecture across Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia, defining market entry strategy and brand positioning within a multi-jurisdiction, regulated environment while leading distributed teams across Cyprus, Israel, India, the Philippines and Singapore.
