Anand
Venkatraman.
A product leader who speaks finance & ERP fluently — and can prove it in double-entry.
15 years. Five companies across banking, logistics, proptech, cleantech. Three countries. One obsession: platforms that can close the books and pass the audit.
Finance systems aren't something I picked up along the way. They're where I began.
Eight years at Infosys building ERP integrations for insurers, banks, and energy majors. That background shapes how I approach product work — with an understanding of what finance teams actually need at quarter-close, not just what the roadmap assumes.
Since moving into product, I've worked across regulated industries at Enpal. Sennder. HomeToGo. Investcorp. Places where the financial and compliance stakes are real, and the product decisions have to reflect that. Berlin-based, Europe-open.
I focus on finance and ERP-adjacent products because that's where my experience runs deepest — 15 years across engineering and product, in domains where getting it wrong has real consequences.
Fifteen years,
reconciled.
Strategic direction of core ERP + Finance integrations. Quote-to-cash automation. Regulatory reporting alignment.
Partnered with Finance, Legal, Compliance through an M&A. Defined and instrumented KPIs. Kept books audit-ready.
Primary PoC for every Finance system. Owned SAP S/4HANA transition and PSP stack (Adyen, PayPal, Klarna).
Ran global delivery for alt-asset bank. Cleared long-stuck integration debt. Championed RPA into regulatory reporting.
8 years, 3 countries. Integrated 16 systems into ERP for one of the largest US insurers — revenue loss from human error fell 90%.
