Emma Levén becomes the new group CFO at FundedByMe

Emma Levén, previously CFO at Swedeltaco AB, now becomes a part of the team behind the biggest and fastest growing crowdfunding platform in Scandinavia. She has a background in international growth and listings, and will be a strong addition as Group Chief Financial Officer at FundedByMe prior to upcoming listing at NGM as well as future ventures.

— It is with great anticipation I look forward to working with FundedByMe and seeing them become a stronger and more global company. It is a company that has gone through an impressive journey through the years and I see it as a great opportunity. I can definitely use my previous experiences in international growth and become a part of the company that offers the ideal way of funding for entrepreneurs. FundedByMe makes the investor market a more democratic and inclusive place, says Emma Levén new CFO at FundedByMe

Over the last two years the platform has grown stronger and more extensive - due to strategic acquisitions and recruitments.

Besides being the CFO at SweDeltaco AB, she has been Global Director at Cambridge University Press and both General Manager at Thorlabs and Managing Director at Thorlabs Sweden.This makes her perfectly suited for the continuous expansion of FundedByMe  

— As a part of the consolidation we have searched and found the perfect candidate to guide the company in a listed establishment. Her work will also be of major importance in future acquisitions or enterprises. Emma is incredibly experienced, competent and has the ambitions, the personality and the drive shared at FundedByMe. Having worked in a listed establishment is of course a big advantage but we value Emma as a great coworker, says Daniel Daboczy CEO of FundedByMe.
