About

Steering Wibmo as the Chief Financial Officer, my role encompasses directing the company's financial strategy and leading us to an impressive 30% CAGR growth year over year. Our team, through strategic product and geographic expansion, has turned the company PAT positive, and I've played a pivotal role in preparing us for an upcoming IPO, establishing a robust GRC framework and leading quarterly audits. Previously, as Vice President at PayU, I led the Risk Assessment Committee, formulating a risk-based internal control plan and managing merchant credit risk to minimize losses. The commercial strategies and pricing models I've implemented for various products reflect my dedication to driving financial excellence and business growth. My expertise lies in financial planning and analysis, strategic planning, and stakeholder management, which have been instrumental in propelling the organizations I've worked with forward.
