LONDON, 28th July 2026 — Semaverse, the M&A intelligence and automation platform that helps deal teams source opportunities, automate analysis and diligence, and align stakeholders around the right decision, today announced that Fred Becker has joined the company as Strategic Advisor. Becker will work closely with the founding team on strategy, fundraising, and  commercial development.

Becker brings more than 20 years of experience leading and scaling software companies. He currently serves as Chief Administrative Officer at UnlikelyAI, a neurosymbolic AI platform, alongside roles as Chairman of Centuro Global and Board Director at TheBrief.AI. He was previously CFO at Peak, which was acquired by UiPath; and held combined CFO/COO roles at RegTech firm Suade and consumer credit fintech Aire. Earlier in his career, he held corporate development roles at Skype, UBM and BT. 

"Fred has led corporate development himself, not just advised on it from the outside. He knows the pressures our customers face, and that's exactly the perspective we want shaping Semaverse," said Mo Ladha, CEO and co-founder of Semaverse.

"I've run corporate development from the inside: at Skype through its acquisition by Microsoft, at UBM ahead of the Informa deal, and at BT. Across all of them, the hardest part was never finding targets or building models; it was keeping diligence, analysis and stakeholders moving in the same direction. Semaverse is the first platform I've seen that treats that as one problem. That’s why I signed up," said Becker.
