AI Era Corp, a New York-based intellectual property firm specializing in Agentic AI-powered media and movie licensing, has appointed Dzmitry Kastahorau as its new Chief Financial Officer effective immediately. The appointment signals a strategic move to bolster the company's financial leadership as it prepares for a significant market transition and expansion of its AI-driven entertainment ecosystem.
Kastahorau brings over a decade of experience in corporate finance, investor relations, capital markets, and public company operations to his new role. He currently serves as CFO and Board Member of MICROPOLIS AI ROBOTICS, where he has been instrumental in financial strategy and corporate governance. His background includes senior finance leadership roles at international companies across the fashion retail, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and luxury sectors in the Middle East and Europe.
The appointment holds particular importance as AI Era Corp prepares for its NYSE American uplisting, a critical step that would increase the company's visibility, liquidity, and access to capital markets. CEO Ahmad stated that Kastahorau's proven expertise as a public company CFO and strong background in investor relations will be extremely valuable during this transition period. The company's leadership views this appointment as essential for strengthening its financial foundation and accelerating growth initiatives.
Chairman Fred Deng emphasized that Kastahorau's appointment marks an important step in building a robust financial and governance team. He expects the new CFO to play a key role in integrating his extensive experience with current initiatives in the AI creator ecosystem and physical cinema expansion. The company operates a physical movie theater and distribution hub in Mount Kisco, New York, which serves as a unique link between traditional cinema and next-generation AI technology.
AI Era Corp owns intellectual property for several key platforms including UFilm.ai for generative AI production, Uflix.ai as its licensed flagship distribution platform, and the NFT Movie Marketplace. The company's vision combines AI technology with experiential entertainment through creator tools and physical cinemas, creating a hybrid model that bridges digital innovation with traditional entertainment venues.
Kastahorau expressed enthusiasm about joining AI Era Corp at what he described as a transformative stage. He noted the compelling nature of the company's vision and stated his intention to contribute expertise in strategic finance, investor relations, and public company readiness to support the team in achieving ambitious goals. These goals include successful execution of the NYSE American uplisting and delivering strong financial performance in upcoming quarters, with the company approaching its second quarter report.
The financial leadership change comes as the entertainment industry undergoes significant transformation through AI integration. AI Era Corp's focus on Agentic AI-powered creator media ecosystems positions it at the intersection of technological innovation and content creation. The appointment of an experienced public company CFO suggests the company is preparing for increased scrutiny and opportunities that come with listing on a major exchange, while also signaling to investors its commitment to strong financial governance during a period of strategic expansion.
