Ramani joins from tech giant Meta where he has spent the last two and a half years, most recently serving as director of AR development tools and ecosystems.
He also spent two years as CPO of cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) firm Pipedrive between 2018 and 2020, and has previous experience working as a product lead at Google.
Announcing the appointment on LinkedIn, Tide says Ramani will work to “drive Tide’s vision for its global product strategy, and broaden our small business-focused offering in the UK and India”.
The firm adds he will also “play a key role in enhancing the experience of Tide members as it internationalises”.
Ramani says he is joining Tide at a “critical juncture in its plans to globalise” and will aim to diversify and scale the company’s product offering.
Late last year, Tide announced a deal to acquire Funding Options, a UK marketplace for small business finance, to help its small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) customers gain access to more credit options.
Tide CEO Oliver Prill says the company has grown quickly and is looking to expand further through more acquisitions.
