Chief Executive Officer @ ArayaPRO

About

I'm the founder of ArayaPRO, a platform built to help business leaders take control of supplier risk before damage is done. We simplify supplier verification, enforce policy compliance, and create audit-ready transparency in every payment decision. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve helped organisations redesign finance operations, build offshore teams, and navigate risk — from my time at Deloitte to scaling optiBPO through to acquisition. ArayaPRO exists for leaders who are done crossing their fingers and hoping nothing goes wrong. If you're driving better control over supplier onboarding, payment security, or internal approvals — let’s connect.
