Krishnan works with founders and CEOs at specific inflection points - preparing for institutional capital, managing rapid growth, navigating cross-border complexity, rebuilding a finance function from the ground up. Twenty years of operating finance experience across $1B organizations and 13 countries is what he bring to these engagements.
Krishnan has been in the room during companys’ most consequential financial moments – when a lender needs answers, when a rapidly scaling business starts generating cash flow surprises, when a founder needs to understand what their business is actually worth to a serious buyer.
He has structured entities across complex jurisdictions, rebuilt finance functions mid-flight, and prepared businesses for the scrutiny that comes with institutional capital – PE interest, a strategic buyer, or a first serious debt facility.
