Heike O'Donnell

As a former CFO in big tech firms and startups alike, I have a knack for building and professionalizing Finance functions - always with a focus on people, processes & technology. In my current role as board member and advisor, I help founders and VC funds to build strong, successful businesses integrating sustainability considerations into core business strategies. I am deeply committed to the belief that profit and purpose are not mutually exclusive and aim to demonstrate that responsible business practices also enhance profitability and resilience in the long run. 
Cultural diversity is important to me: being married to an Irishman and having lived and worked with people of other cultures, serves as a powerful eye-opener, keeping me humble and open-minded.
