Sven brings first-hand experience building and growing private equity-backed software businesses. His sweet spots are market knowledge, strategic planning, and unpicking what a business’ next five years look like.
Sven is the former CEO of Serrala, a provider of finance automation and B2B payment solutions for the office of the CFO. The company has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East and over 700 employees.
Under his leadership, Serrala went through two rounds of private equity funding; first with Waterland in 2016, the first time the company grew inorganically, and latterly with Hg in 2021.
Based in the DACH region, he’s keen to share his experiences with PE-backed software and tech-enabled service businesses and help entrepreneurs to achieve successful outcomes.
