Fifteen years making financial complexity legible. First for boards, then for founders, now for software.
Most finance people get good at one thing. I have run a licensed fund, a CFO practice and an AI company. Each one paid for the next.
Co-founded a finance and ERP firm serving US small and mid-sized businesses. From a single outsourcing contract to a 40+ person practice across four countries.
Turned twenty years of finance craft into software that does in one sitting what used to take three consultants six weeks.
Co-founded and led a Central Bank–licensed investment company at 70% return on equity, then bought its fund management arm and ran the fund myself.
Co-founded and still run as CEO. One outsourcing contract from a US company, grown into a boutique finance operations and ERP practice built for the US mid-market: a Florida entity for clients and contracts, a German arm for Europe, an Armenian delivery core, and NetSuite depth most firms this size cannot match.
A US company needed finance work done offshore. We took the contract, built the team in Armenia, and kept climbing: bookkeeping, then controller work, then managerial accounting, closures and audit support, and now the CFO seat itself, alongside valuation, restructuring, planning and M&A. NetSuite is the foundation of the firm, not a line on the service list.
Consulting is the hardest thing in the world to scale. So we took what we had done by hand fifty times, found the gap, and built it as software.
Consulting does not scale. PrometAI does in one sitting what three consultants used to do over six weeks: AI-guided, backed by industry data, built on the frameworks we had been applying by hand for years.
The bet is not that AI writes documents. It is that planning makes founders better, and most are locked out of it by cost and jargon rather than by capability.
Head of research, then co-founder and CEO of a Central Bank–licensed investment company, then owner of the fund management firm I bought out of it. Same market, three altitudes.
Research at ROQ Capital, formerly Armenbrok, where I finished the CFA. Then co-founded Dimension Investments as CEO. Central Bank licence stood up from scratch, and 70% return on equity in a single year on a leveraged government bond book into falling rates.
Then I bought its fund management arm and ran it as Hundred Core, on an institutional model almost nobody in the market had.
A 42% opening year, and +77.6% life to date in dollars, +84.2% in euro. Both dram-negative years were positive in hard currency, and the dram drawdowns were held deliberately shallow.
Table stakes, not a personality.
Four sentences I say often enough that my team quotes them back at me.
Better done than perfect.
Perfect is usually fear in a nicer suit. The market's opinion beats mine, and it arrives faster than my next revision.
Consistency is king.
A team that moves steadily for five years beats one that sprints for five weeks. Compounding is the only edge you cannot buy.
Find the twenty percent.
Pareto is a management philosophy, not a productivity hack. Most value sits in a few decisions. Find them before you spend the quarter.
Build the system, not the hero.
Anyone can carry a company for a month. I hire the people who leave behind a process that outlasts them.
A mountaineer since 2022. Not competitively, consistently. Open water when there isn't a mountain.
