About
Jeppe Rindom was CFO of Tradeshift, and the frustration of managing company expenses there became Pleo. He co-founded it in Copenhagen in 2015 with Niccolo Perra and built Europe's leading spend-management platform: more than 40,000 businesses across sixteen European markets, €164 million of annual recurring revenue at the end of 2025 — a 65% compound growth rate over five years — and a $350 million Series C that valued the company at $4.7 billion in 2021. A Copenhagen Business School finance graduate, he also co-founded &grow Ventures, which backs early-stage technology companies.
