Cuentas appoints interim CFO and names first Chief AI Officer
Cuentas, Inc. has reshuffled its senior leadership team, appointing Eric Kilinsky as Interim Chief Financial Officer and elevating Ofek Haim Suchard, who previously held that interim finance role, to the newly created position of Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer. Both appointments took effect on 8 June 2026.
Kilinsky brings a background in outsourced CFO services to public and private companies, and will take on principal financial officer and principal accounting officer responsibilities. His remit covers SEC filing support, audit coordination, KPI reporting, budgeting and forecasting, and capitalisation table oversight. He holds a degree in Accounting and Finance from Susquehanna University and claims experience supporting more than ten public companies on financial reporting and compliance.
Leadership change
Suchard moves from finance into a technology-focused brief, with a mandate to position Cuentas as what the company describes as an "artificial intelligence-first" organisation and to prepare it for artificial general intelligence. His focus will span technology strategy, product development, and the integration of AI capabilities across Cuentas's platform, which covers mobile communications, connectivity, and digital services. He holds a mechanical engineering degree and brings software development experience to the role.
Chief executive Shalom Arik Maimon said Kilinsky's public-company reporting experience would strengthen the finance function, adding that Suchard's transition to the AI brief would allow him to concentrate on "technology and product innovation that are central to the future of our platform."
Market context
Cuentas trades on the OTCQB, the mid-tier of OTC Markets Group's platform for early-stage and developing US-listed companies. The OTCQB listing, combined with the forward-looking statements in the release flagging a potential relisting on the Nasdaq Capital Market, suggests the company is in an active phase of corporate restructuring and compliance remediation. The appointment of an outsourced CFO specialist, rather than a permanent hire, is consistent with the cost and flexibility constraints typical of OTCQB-tier public companies.
The creation of a Chief AI Officer role at a small-cap mobile and connectivity company reflects a broader pattern across the tech sector, where AI leadership titles are proliferating at firms of all sizes. For a company of Cuentas's scale, the practical question is how the AI strategy integrates with its existing partnership with World Mobile LLC and whether the AI-first positioning translates into identifiable product milestones. The release names no customers, no revenue figures, no product launch dates, and no specific AI capabilities under development, making the near-term deliverables of Suchard's new role difficult to assess from public information alone.
Investors tracking the OTCQB listing will focus on whether the strengthened finance function accelerates the company's compliance posture and whether a Nasdaq relisting materialises within the current financial year.
