Andrew Xeni, founder and ceo at Fabacus, continued: “Not only does Dan appreciate and understand the need of what we are building here at Fabacus by advancing current industry practices, he also brings with him vast experience and knowledge in building technology businesses.

“Our board is now a stellar line-up with some of the most authoritative voices from licensing, retail, and marketplace technology to truly complement our business trajectory. In a new age of regulation and stricter data requirements, I am hugely excited at the role Fabacus and our Xelacore technology will play in underpinning this industry evolution, from compliant product datasets through to validated and verifiable Digital Product Passports.”
