Jeppe Rindom

I’m the co-founder and CEO of Pleo, where we’ve spent the past decade reimagining how businesses handle spending, moving from clunky, centralised processes to tools that empower teams and leaders to spend with trust, control and clarity. What started as a fix to a pain I knew well as a former CFO has grown into one of Europe’s leading fintechs, serving tens of thousands of companies across more than 20 markets. Today, Pleo is a 900-person team representing over 60 nationalities, all driven by a shared ambition to make business spending effortless. We’ve been fortunate to have the backing of world-class investors and recognition from across the industry, but what makes me most proud is the culture we’ve built: one rooted in transparency, autonomy and continuous learning. In recent years, we’ve entered a new chapter at Pleo, evolving from spend management into a broader financial platform. With Pleo Embedded, we’re now bringing our capabilities directly into partner ecosystems across Europe. Beyond Pleo, I’m deeply passionate about building and investing in people, ideas and sustainable ventures. Through &grow Ventures, I invest actively in early-stage startups across Europe and the US, typically in fintech, SaaS and climate-tech, backing founders with conviction and staying close as an advisor and board member. Besides building Pleo, I am passionate about fintech, startups, venture capital, and early stage funding. I am an angel investor in startups in Europe and US focused on business software and fintech, an advisor to private equity funds and portfolio companies, and a speaker at international conferences on payments, accounting, fintech, and digital innovation. My mission is to create a future of work culture that fosters transparency, trust, and delegation, and to inspire and empower other entrepreneurs to pursue their vision.
