About

I’m the founder & CEO of Stacks, where we’re using AI to turn the month-end close into a one-click experience. Finance teams today waste days chasing numbers, reconciling data, and cleaning up spreadsheets. We think that’s broken. Stacks replaces manual work with AI agents that help you close faster, with less pain, and more confidence. We’re backed by EQT, General Catalyst, and operators from OpenAI, Stripe, Netflix, and Gusto. Customers include fast-growing scaleups and public companies across Europe and the US. If you're a CFO, controller, or engineer thinking about the future of finance, let's connect.
