Aura is set to maintain CEO Hari Ravichandran at the helm of the company following completion of its acquisition of Qoria, while keeping Sujay Jaswa as chairman of the board, signaling continuity in strategic direction as the businesses integrate. In conjunction with the combination, Aura’s current CFO, Brian DeCenzo, will assume the expanded role of CFO and president of the merged entity, with Qoria CFO Ben Jenkins staying on as CFO Australia and reporting to DeCenzo, underscoring a clear regional and financial governance structure.
As part of the post-transaction configuration, Qoria managing director Tim Levy will join Aura’s board and lead Aura Alpha, a new internal growth and innovation unit tasked with pursuing strategic partnerships, global distribution, corporate development, M&A, and policy and regulatory initiatives. To support the balance sheet of the combined group and fund deal-related costs, Aura has arranged an upsized equity placement of $100 million, increased from the previously disclosed $75 million, with the additional $25 million provided by Ravichandran and existing investor WndrCo, and priced at an implied A$0.40 per Qoria share, a 32.4% premium to Qoria’s 30-day VWAP as of April 23, 2026, despite broad tech valuation pressure in volatile global markets.
