The appointment marks a shift in Marqeta’s leadership structure, with Kangwankij now responsible for driving financial strategy. Her background in payments and global finance positions her to play a key role in the company’s next phase. The change follows Milotich’s transition from dual CEO and CFO duties to focusing solely on his role as chief executive.
