Chișinău, Moldova
I don’t scale businesses from a boardroom. In 2018 alone, I drove 43,000 km across Moldova to understand SMEs from the ground up — their challenges, their numbers, their potential. Over 25 years in financial services, I’ve worked with thousands of SMEs, sitting across the table from founders who needed more than capital — they needed clarity. I bring together three things that rarely coexist in one person: the ability to read and interpret financials with precision, the strategic instinct of a product manager, and a genuine commitment to ESG as a business driver, not a checkbox. I build businesses that grow with purpose — financially sharp, operationally sound, and sustainably responsible. If you’re scaling an SME or rethinking how finance, product, and sustainability fit together — I’d like to connect.
