Jaja Finance has announced the appointment of Francesco Di Costanzo as its permanent Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective immediately. Di Costanzo has been serving as the interim CEO since October 2024 and previously held the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) within the company.

Di Costanzo joined Jaja in 2022 as Head of Capital Markets before being appointed as CFO in March 2023, and a member of Jaja’s Leadership team, where he played a crucial role in strengthening the company’s financial footing and supporting its strategic initiatives.
