Former leaders from Uber, Revolt and Klarna join the UAE’s Prepco in senior executive positions.

Prebco, the UAE’s leading real estate technology platform that builds integrated infrastructure for real estate property ownership, real estate financing, tokenization and related services, has announced a major expansion of its executive leadership team with the appointment of Damien Darrab as Chief Operating Officer, Harish Bajaj as Chief Product Officer, and Denis Ageev as Chief Technology Officer.

This leadership expansion reflects the acceleration of Pripco’s growth as its system expands to include fractional real estate ownership, housing financing solutions, investor services, and accommodation solutions. These appointments also enhance the company’s ability to execute at scale, deepen product innovation, and build the operational foundations for the next phase of its development.

The new executive leaders bring deep expertise in the areas of real estate technology, financial technology and modern technologies at the global level, enhancing Pripco’s focus on building a leading platform for real estate ownership and infrastructure.

Damian Drab joins Pribco as Chief Operating Officer, bringing extensive experience scaling platform businesses, digital marketplaces and technology companies, including his role as COO and co-founder of Nomad Homes, as well as senior leadership roles at Uber across Europe and the Gulf region. With his background at Oliver Wyman, he has led large teams, managed financial and operational responsibilities, and driven operational growth.

At Bribco, he will oversee and implement the company’s operational strategy, enhancing performance, scalability, and execution efficiency across the organization’s various sectors.

Damien Drab, Chief Operating Officer at Prepco, said:
“Bripco is building a platform that reshapes and expands the way the real estate ecosystem works, and this is exactly what attracts me. The company’s ambition, momentum and clarity of vision make this an ideal time to join. “The opportunity to scale the operations, teams and systems behind a platform that redefines access to property ownership is a powerful motivator for me.”

Harish Bajaj also joins Pripco as Chief Product Officer, with leadership experience gained from global fintech organizations including Pleo, Klarna and Barclays. He has helped build and scale data-driven financial products and led product-driven growth strategies, contributing to Pleo’s growth from annual recurring revenue of €20 million to over €180 million. He also co-led Klarna’s merchant range, serving over 200,000 merchants, and launched AI and data-powered initiatives at Barclays.

At Prepco, he will lead the product and marketing vision, innovation agenda, and growth strategy, overseeing platform development, user experience, customer acquisition, and brand.

Harish Bajaj, Chief Product Officer at Prepco, said:
“Pribco’s upward trajectory and the scale of the initiatives it is leading make this an important moment to join the company. I was particularly attracted to the role I could play in shaping products capable of scaling with this momentum and delivering long-term value. I am happy to join a company that has a clear vision and specific goal.”

Denis Ageev joins Pribco as CTO, with more than 15 years of experience leading and scaling product engineering teams at large enterprises and fast-growing fintech companies, including Revolt. He has deep experience in software engineering and artificial intelligence, and a proven track record of building and operating platforms that support customer-oriented products.

At Pripco, Dennis will lead the company’s technology strategy, oversee platform and cloud infrastructure, drive innovation efforts, enhance governance and operational agility, and ensure the technology foundations support Pripco’s growth and long-term strategy.

Denis Ageev, Chief Technology Officer at Bribco, said:
“The speed of innovation at Bribco, the scale of ongoing initiatives, and the energy and passion of the founders were remarkable from the first moment. “The opportunity to build and scale the technology infrastructure behind this transformative work, and support a company experiencing accelerated growth, was a key driver of my decision to join.”

For her part, Amira Sajwani, Founder and CEO of Prepco, commented:
“We are at a pivotal stage in Bribco’s development. As we expand across markets and sectors, execution becomes as important as vision. Damian, Harish and Dennis are proven leaders who can scale and manage global technology and financial platforms at an accelerated pace. Their expertise enhances our ability to innovate, operate with precision, and execute at scale.

Prepco is building the infrastructure that will shape the next stage of real estate ownership. Strengthening our leadership team ensures that we have the competencies, global vision, and operational strength necessary to lead this transformation from the UAE to international markets.”
The new appointments strengthen the executive leadership team, which includes Amira Sajwani, Founder and CEO; Issa Ibrahim, co-founder and president; and Ana Monteiro, Chief Revenue Officer. This team reflects a combination of operational, financial, product and commercial expertise aligned with Prepco’s expansion path.

Bribco continues to expand its business across its key verticals, including Bribco Mortgage, Bribco Mint, Bribco Blocks, Gold Residence and Financial Mobility Services, and Bribco One platform. The platform is designed to connect real estate ownership, financing, fractional ownership, and services within a unified system, supporting investors, homeowners, and institutions through a more available and digitally enabled infrastructure.

The expansion of executive leadership represents Pripco’s transition to the next phase of its growth, with a clear focus on execution, scaling the platform, and building the operational foundations necessary to support a new generation of ownership models in the UAE and beyond.
