Stan

Head of Finance

Background

Stan is the all-in-one platform for Creators to sell digital products, online courses, coaching sessions, memberships, and event bookings from a single link in bio.

The Problem

Stan was looking for a finance leader to build the function from scratch—someone who could thrive in chaos, bring clarity without slowing momentum, and help scale a fast-growing, creator-first business. The right person needed to be both strategic and scrappy, and able to influence without being the “finance police.”
