@laiskarsburg
I lead financial strategy, M&A, fundraising, and transformation for high-growth technology businesses.
What I'm looking for
I've led financial strategy, M&A, fundraising, and transformation initiatives for startups, scale-ups, and complex companies. At Karsburg Consultoria Empresarial, I serve technology businesses on corporate structuring, governance, growth, processes, and transactions.
As Interim CFO for COMP Technologies, I raised USD 17 million in a Series A round and supported approximately 250% MRR growth through stronger financial structuring, cash discipline, and automation that cut the contract-to-billing cycle by 50%.
At Intelbras, I structured its corporate investment thesis, standardized M&A screening and evaluation to increase finance productivity by 80%, and negotiated an acquisition above USD 35 million plus earnout. At Vertex, I led Systax's post-acquisition financial integration and built pricing and commission initiatives that increased average ticket by 30% and sales performance by 20%.
I've also led Series B fundraising, cross-border transactions, audits, due diligence, financial governance, and commercial intelligence. Across more than 20 M&A deals, I bring financial, operational, strategic, and technological perspectives to growth and transformation decisions.
