Overview
DEXICONN builds infrastructure for device-backed financing.
We connect devices, software, distribution, and financial partners into a unified execution system, where device usage is controlled based on predefined credit terms linked to payment behavior.
We are building a capital-light, scalable infrastructure layer across markets, partners, and portfolios.
We are looking for a COO who can build and execute this system end-to-end.
Role Objective
