Marco Santos

I bring over 20 years of executive leadership experience as CFO, Finance Director and Managing Director across multinational groups, startups and growth-stage businesses. Beyond finance, I have worked closely with founders, boards (being a Board member in several companies) and shareholders on strategy, fundraising, M&A, business transformation, operational improvement and international expansion.

As an advisor or board member, I help management teams make better decisions by combining financial discipline with a strong commercial and operational perspective. I am particularly effective in companies facing growth, scaling challenges, investor readiness, restructuring, profitability improvement or complex strategic decisions.

The companies that benefit most from my expertise are startups, scaleups, technology-enabled businesses, infrastructure, retail and service companies that need support in building scalable financial foundations, improving performance, raising capital, preparing for investment or navigating periods of transformation and growth.
