Introducing our new CEO: J. Gaston Siri

Toronto, Ontario - (News Release - November 15, 2019) - We're pleased to announce J. Gaston Siri will be joining SideDrawer as CEO effective December 1, 2019 to develop and scale the concept into a platform serving consumers, professionals and integration partners.

Gaston is an accomplished entrepreneur that was instrumental in growing Flexiti Financial, a high growth consumer finance fintech based out of Canada. Under Gaston's leadership as CTO, he oversaw the development and launch of the product, as well as integrated a highly complex, and technologically challenging acquisition of a book of business from TD Financial Group.

By the end of Gaston's tenure, Flexiti was originating over $300 million of consumer receivables from multiple leading retailers across Canada.

Gaston added, "I'm very proud to re-imagine SideDrawer into a life platform. The concept really appealed to me from the beginning, as it's a personal need that I and my family definitely have, and it resonates well with almost every individual. From a business perspective, I'm very impressed with the early traction the proof of concept has received, and I expect that with the right technology, consumer-focused product and security, we should be able to have a world class solution deployed globally."

Given Gaston's prior experience in developing technology and leading a team of over 50 technical staff, he will also be responsible for the product development and management until those responsibilities can be duly passed on to additional team members.
