— Mohamed Chaudry, The Scale Up CFO
I don’t just understand founders, I am one.
I was a founder before it was fashionable.
No noise. No playbook. Just real businesses — built, scaled, sold.
Five exits
Two were mine. Three I led as CFO. I did what most founders don’t:
Became a chartered accountant.
Mastered corporate finance.
Turned raw hustle into strategic firepower. I’ve got the heart of a founder — fast, fearless, relentless.
And the mind of a CFO — sharp, structured, scale-ready.
This isn’t theory.
I’ve built it. Led it. Sold it. Again and again.
“A founder at heart.
A strategist by discipline.”
