Carles Costa

Commercial professional with a finance backbone who turns insight into market impact. I began as CFO for small enterprises, then spent eleven years at a multinational company, progressing from Subsidiary Head of Administration to Commercial & Financial Controller. Five years ago, I transitioned fully to the commercial front line—supporting market expansion and fostering strategic relationships while grounding every decision in disciplined financial analysis. My longest track record is in finance, yet my true talent is commercial. That grounding lets me read P&Ls in seconds, spot margin levers, and speak the language of cost, risk and return—an edge that turns prospects into confident customers. I’ve also co-founded two ventures: an investment vehicle for early-stage start-ups (2017 – present) and an e-commerce business that sold on Amazon for two years. In my spare time, I nurture a long-term investing practice. What I bring • Deal-making focus backed by deep P&L fluency • Ability to align Commercial, Finance and Operations around shared growth goals • Experience across corporate and entrepreneurial settings Core strengths Commercial strategy │ Business development │ Financial analysis │ Team leadership │ Fund-raising & M&A │ Geopolitical insight │ Resilience Values Optimism · Integrity · Humility · Excellence Outside the office, you’ll find me trail-running, writing short stories, listening music, and spending quality time with family and friends—pursuits that keep my creativity sharp.
