About Sajith Menon

TL;DR: Corporate Finance Leader | 10+ yrs across Big 4, startups & global corporates | Problem-solver who simplifies complexity & thinks a few steps ahead | Admitted to IIM Calcutta CFO Programme (2025) I’m a Chartered Accountant and corporate finance leader with over a decade of experience across Big 4 audit, high-growth startups, and global corporates. My journey has been unconventional from leaving school early to be part of my family business, to qualifying as a CA and building a career rooted in resilience, curiosity, and continuous learning. I specialise in FP & A, strategic finance, and building finance functions that enable better business decisions. I’ve led teams across multiple regions, partnered with CXOs, and supported both global corporates and startups in shaping finance as a driver of growth rather than just compliance. What sets me apart is my approach: I’m a problem solver who thrives on simplifying complexity, an intuitive thinker who looks beyond the numbers, and someone who applies mental models to think a few steps ahead. This mindset has guided me through professional milestones as well as personal transformations, from building finance teams to mentoring individuals in their own journeys. I have recently been admitted to the IIM Calcutta CFO Programme (commencing Oct 2025) to further strengthen my expertise in corporate finance leadership, strategic planning, and capital efficiency. Areas of focus: FP & A | Strategic Finance | Business Partnering | Finance Transformation | Leadership Development Beyond work: Psychology & Human Behaviour | Mentoring Early-career Professionals | Running & Fitness | Lifelong Learning
