Founder & CEO, Ledgerline (demo)
AI close-automation for mid-market finance teams. Product, GTM, and the first eleven hires.
Founder & Operator
Currently: founder & CEO of Ledgerline (demo) — agents that close the books with the controller, not instead of one. Before that: a decade shipping and scaling B2B products.
Now
Ledgerline puts AI agents inside the monthly close: reconciliations drafted, journal entries proposed, anomalies flagged — every step reviewed and approved by the controller. Finance stays accountable; the grind disappears.
Background
AI close-automation for mid-market finance teams. Product, GTM, and the first eleven hires.
Owned the payments product line from $0 to $30M ARR (sample); built a 6-PM org and the pricing function.
Grew the platform group from 3 to 24 engineers; led the re-architecture that survived 40× traffic.
Distributed systems and data pipelines. Still the fastest way I know to understand a business.
Selected wins
Sample wins — swap in your own. Keep them concrete: numbers, names, dates.
