Yuno has appointed Edwin Poot as Chief Technology Officer, adding a payments and fintech infrastructure leader as the company expands its global financial infrastructure platform. Poot will lead Yuno’s global engineering organization, overseeing platform development, infrastructure, and technology capabilities for merchants worldwide.
Poot joins Yuno from Thredd, where he served as Global Chief Technology Officer. During his tenure, he led a full-scale technology transformation that rebuilt Thredd’s platform on a cloud-native, AI-first serverless architecture, expanded the engineering workforce, and improved platform stability and delivery quality.
Before joining Thredd, Poot was Vice President of Product and Technology at Nubank, where he supported platformization and global growth across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. He also served as Chief Architect at Booking.com, where he helped define global architecture strategy across one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms.
At Yuno, Poot will work with the executive team as the company scales across North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and APAC. His appointment follows the hiring of Mauricio Schwartzmann as Chief Banking and Financial Institutions Officer, a role focused on partnerships with banks, card networks, acquirers, and other financial institutions.
Yuno CEO and Co-Founder Juan Pablo Ortega said Poot has built and scaled payment infrastructure in demanding environments. Poot said global merchants need infrastructure that is “reliable, fast, and intelligent,” adding that Yuno is building an AI-native operating system that makes global payments “programmable at every layer.”
