About

I'm the co-founder & CEO of Truly Financial, where we’re reimagining how modern businesses manage money across borders. We provide multi-currency accounts, cross-border payments, and embedded financial infrastructure—all in one platform that meets companies where they operate: globally. Before Truly, I spent over two decades as a serial entrepreneur—building, scaling, exiting, and sometimes failing with ventures across six countries. Every experience sharpened my belief that businesses deserve simpler, smarter ways to operate globally. Today, alongside leading Truly Financial, I actively contribute as a speaker and mentor within the fintech and startup ecosystem, sharing insights at events like World Bank Forums, GITEX Dubai, TiECon, and Accelerators Like Antler, DMZ, Techstars, TiE. I'm passionate about building at the intersection of product, strategy, and partnerships—helping businesses thrive in an increasingly borderless world. Truly Financial: Where Business Meets the World.
