Arthur Levine
SkyAI has appointed veteran finance executive Arthur Levine as chief financial officer, adding public-company and capital markets experience as the fintech company expands the operational infrastructure supporting its agentic finance platform.
The appointment represents a foundational leadership hire as SkyAI transitions from its origins as Sharps Technology into a financial technology company focused on delivering AI-enabled financial services across underbanked markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Rather than positioning the move around technology development alone, the company framed the hire as part of a broader effort to strengthen financial operations, governance and scalability as it pursues international growth.
Levine brings more than three decades of finance leadership experience spanning fintech, software, healthcare and other growth-oriented industries. His background includes public company reporting, capital raising, IPO execution, mergers and acquisitions, and organizational scaling—capabilities that become increasingly important as emerging growth companies move from concept development into operational expansion.
Most notably, Levine previously served as CFO of EzFill Holdings, where he led the company’s initial public offering and helped build the financial reporting and compliance infrastructure required for a rapidly growing public company. He also served as CFO of Sensus Healthcare, leading its IPO and follow-on financing activities while helping improve profitability and operational discipline.
For SkyAI, the hire signals an emphasis on execution rather than simply product vision.
The company is building what it describes as an “agentic finance” platform that combines stablecoin payment rails with AI-driven financial tools intended to expand access to financial services for underserved populations. The operational challenge now shifts toward scaling the platform across multiple jurisdictions, managing regulatory complexity, securing capital and building systems capable of supporting international deployment.
Executive Chairman Paul Danner said Levine’s experience across public companies and multinational operations will be central to strengthening financial operations and supporting long-term shareholder value creation.
The appointment also reflects a broader trend among AI and fintech companies that are increasingly recruiting executives with capital markets and operational experience as investors place greater emphasis on commercialization, governance and execution discipline.
While AI-focused companies often emphasize product innovation, scaling financial platforms in emerging markets typically requires extensive investment in compliance infrastructure, treasury management, reporting systems and cross-border operational capabilities.
Levine said he sees an opportunity to help the company strengthen its foundation while executing its long-term growth strategy.
The company continues to position its platform around improving access to financial services, education and financial intelligence for populations that remain underserved by traditional banking systems. Achieving that vision at scale will depend not only on technology development but also on the operational infrastructure required to support growth across diverse global markets.
Levine holds a degree in accounting and economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and is a certified public accountant in New York.
