Hi, I'm
Rajesh Subramaniam.
CFO | Listed manufacturing and industrial groups | IPO and post-merger integration
Twenty-six years in finance leadership, most of it in businesses that were mid-transaction. Two IPOs, four acquisitions, one carve-out. Most useful when the numbers and the story have drifted apart and somebody needs to say so.
