REVOLT is welcoming new hires.

According to information provided to AfroTech, the company is welcoming Diondre Lewis — who will serve as the company’s chief technology officer — and Chantelle Silveira, who will serve as Senior Vice President of Product. Lewis and Silviera will pioneer change within the media industry and lead technological advancements.

“I’m excited to be a part of REVOLT at such a pivotal inflection point in the history of the company. We are sitting at the confluence of Black culture, media, and technology and we have a unique opportunity to combine all these forces and scale globally,“ Lewis said in a statement provided exclusively to AfroTech.

REVOLT plans to stay ahead of industry trends and believes the strategic hires will advance the company’s goal to promote wealth building for its community in the real world and within the Metaverse.

“REVOLT aspires to be a wealth-building engine for our community so, strategically, we have to build a business that can achieve the high multiples attributed to most tech companies,“ CEO Detavio Samuels told AfroTech exclusively. “The world is changing rapidly as Web3, and all that comes along with it like the metaverse and NFTs, become more mainstream. REVOLT has a critical role to play in partnership with Black creatives to ensure we have control over our own narrative and safe spaces to be our authentic selves in these new ecosystems. In other words, we aren’t going to wait for someone to offer us a seat at their table, we are simply going to build our own.”
