Visa infrastructure needs three things at once: regulated rails experience, government access, and OTA distribution. We've built the team for all three.
Two operators who have built regulated identity infrastructure at scale — and lived the visa problem personally.
22 years inside the rails of consumer finance — branch banking, credit cards, payments, identity. Ran a $150M cybersecurity transformation at bank scale. Left as Executive Director after his son was denied boarding over a single visa digit.
Mehsum's wife and co-founder — standing behind the venture from day one. Regional finance lead at Coca-Cola. Owns the financial model and commercial structures.
The team turning the thesis into a product that runs 24/7.
Francisco builds the rails the whole system runs on — the invisible engine that reads every document, validates it, scores the traveller, and routes the application to the right place. It's the intelligence working quietly underneath every channel, the part Propellus is built on and competitors can't see.
Ghena owns everything the user actually touches — the conversational assistant that guides a traveller through their visa, the portals agents and partners work in every day. She shapes it from inside real customer conversations, because the product has to be built around people, not in isolation from them.
Senior commercial operators with the access and the rolodex this thesis requires — across Europe, Africa & GCC, and Southeast Asia.
Co-CEO at TX Group, CDO at Companjon (travel tech serving OTAs and airlines). Activating the European commercial channel for visa-required travel — a distribution play no competitor has identified.
20 years across Booking.com EMEA ($1B+ affiliate sales), Vrbo ($2.5B GBV), Rakuten Travel Xchange, and Mystifly. 300+ warm OTA contacts at VP-level and above across APAC and EMEA.
Industry operators who are also early backers — they invested because they live the problem.
Co-founder and ex-CEO of Explora Journeys (MSC luxury cruise brand). Brings senior travel and hospitality operating experience.
Owner-operator of Prince Visa in the UK — Propellus's very first client. Decades of front-line visa experience. Both an adviser and an investor.
Backs Propellus and opens government doors. Has issued a signed LOI for a Vietnam IFC opportunity, on behalf of the Government of Vietnam — anchoring our government channel.
We're hiring engineers, AI agent builders, and commercial operators. Reach out — even if you don't see a role posted.
