BIO
Founder & CEO at Maroo (acquired). I’m a finance leader and founder with deep, hands-on experience building and running finance functions for startups and growth-stage companies. I’ve scaled financial operations from scratch, managed $400M+ in platform volume, led $500M fundraising at Revolut, M&A, and everything in between. If you need real finance expertise to get your company investor-ready or optimize your path to exit, I can help.
