I’m a fintech CEO, entrepreneur, and strategist with 15+ years of experience building and scaling financial technology businesses across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and North America. My professional background combines fintech execution with applied sociology, which strongly influences how I approach markets, customer behaviour, and go-to-market strategy. I began my career in a sociological research company, working with market analysis, consumer behaviour, and data-driven decision-making. This foundation later became critical in launching and growing technology startups, especially in highly regulated and trust-driven industries such as banking and payments. I’ve co-founded several startups, and in all cases I played the role of a co-founder with a primary focus on sales, marketing, partnerships, and commercial strategy. I’ve been directly involved in taking products from early concept to market launch, building demand, positioning complex technology for business audiences, and scaling revenue across multiple regions. Today, I’m the co-founder and CEO of SDK.finance, a leading banking software platform designed to launch a wide variety of banking and payment products. SDK.finance provides the core infrastructure behind digital banks, payment service providers, wallets, card programmes, and embedded finance solutions. The platform is used by successful clients across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and North America, supporting real production systems operating in regulated financial environments.
