Beyond Border taps ex-Airbnb exec for growth

Singapore-founded Beyond Border, a tech-enabled US immigration platform, has announced the appointment of Kum Hong Siew, former Airbnb China COO, and Bassam Abdel-Rahman, former Zenyum CMO, as advisers. This move comes as the company embarks on its next growth phase across the US, Asia, and Latin America.

Beyond Border has achieved a multimillion-dollar annual revenue run rate, maintaining net profitability for the past two years. The company reported a 38% quarter-on-quarter revenue growth in its most recent quarter, setting it on a path to triple its annual revenue in 2026.

Siew, one of Airbnb’s earliest employees in the Asia-Pacific region, will provide guidance on business strategy, legal operations, and operational scaling. Abdel-Rahman, who has held senior roles at global creative agency 72andSunny, will focus on brand, marketing, and customer growth strategies.

Beyond Border has supported numerous founders, including those from Y Combinator, Techstars, Antler, and 500 Global. Its corporate clientele includes SuperOps and Biorce. Over the next year, the company aims to enhance its US presence, strengthen ties with founders and venture capital firms in Asia, and expand into Latin America through regional partnerships.

Fred Ng, co-founder and CEO of Beyond Border, is available to discuss the company’s growth and future plans. The strategic appointments of Siew and Abdel-Rahman are expected to bolster Beyond Border’s expansion efforts and solidify its position in the global market.
