  • CEO

    2018 - 2021

    Lola.com was a SaaS fintech startup which built a spend management and corporate travel management product. As CEO joining a couple years after the founding of the company, I rebuilt the sales and marketing process and teams and grew revenue from $0 to $2m run rate before the pandemic. During the pandemic which demolished the business travel industry, we pivoted to add a spend management product which issued corporate cards and tracked all budgets and expenses across a company. We grew that business to 100 customers and then were acquired by Capital One in October 2021. Funded by General Catalyst, Accel, and CRV.
