Shah Ramezani is the CEO and founder of Noah, which builds the infrastructure for businesses to move money across borders using stablecoins.
He began his career in finance, with roles at UBS, Lazard and the investment firm Kingsway Capital. He later moved into e-commerce at The Hut Group, the UK online retail and brands business, where he led its Asia division.
At Noah, Ramezani first built a consumer money app for saving and spending in bitcoin and stablecoins, before turning the company towards payments infrastructure for businesses. In 2024 he brought in Adyen’s former global sales chief, Thijn Lamers, as cofounder and president. Under Ramezani, Noah now operates in more than 150 markets, grew revenue 538% year on year in 2026 and has raised $38M (about £28M) in seed funding from investors including LocalGlobe, Felix Capital, FJ Labs and Endeit Capital.
