Strategic finance leader with 14+ years of experience spanning Fortune 100 corporations and high-growth venture-backed startups.
Finance is a strategic lever that can unlock tremendous value for any business—and you don't need a big team to make that happen. With the right framework, clear prioritization, and smart use of technology, lean finance teams can punch above their weight class. I bring Fortune 100 best practices adapted for wherever you are in your journey—whether you're taking your next funding step or getting ready for the big stage.
I've worked across cybersecurity, fintech, insurtech, and edtech—different industries, different stages, different challenges. What's consistent is my ability to ramp up quickly, understand what actually matters for the business, and build the systems and models that drive better decisions. I don't believe in cookie-cutter solutions; every company is at a different point in their journey and needs something tailored to where they are.
The work I enjoy most is partnering with executive teams and working cross-functionally to turn complex financial data into clear, actionable insights. Whether it's helping a CFO prepare for a board meeting, working with operations on workforce planning, or collaborating with the CEO on pricing strategy, I focus on being a strategic partner—not just delivering spreadsheets.
I started Runway Models Finance because finance, when done right, is a competitive advantage—and I love helping companies realize that potential.
We brought Kunal in at a critical moment - Campus had outgrown QuickBooks and Excel, and we needed to transition to a modern, scalable ERP. But our lean finance team was maxed out managing day-to-day operations and didn't have the bandwidth to lead this kind of strategic initiative.
Kunal stepped in and owned the entire vendor selection process. He interviewed stakeholders across the organization, evaluated multiple ERP platforms, coordinated focused demos, and negotiated contracts. Beyond just selecting the right tool, he proactively designed our new chart of accounts and dimension structure - work that has positioned us for a smooth implementation.
What impressed me most was how Kunal brought an outside perspective while quickly understanding our business. He didn't just deliver what we asked for; he anticipated what we'd need and built frameworks we will continue to use into the future.
For any growing company with a lean finance team that needs strategic projects done right, I can't recommend Kunal highly enough.
Working with Kunal was exactly what our team needed. He ramped up incredibly quickly and within days he understood our business model and was running with projects independently. For a team as stretched as ours, having someone who didn't need hand-holding was invaluable.
Beyond leading our ERP selection process, Kunal jumped into the analytical work we'd been wanting to do but hadn't had bandwidth for. He built detailed staffing models that transformed how we plan our student-facing operations and helped us create data visualizations that made our key metrics accessible to the broader team.
What really stood out was how Kunal served as a thought partner on emerging topics, particularly around AI implementation. He brought fresh perspectives on how we could leverage automation and AI responsibly, not just in theory but in practical frameworks we're now implementing.
If you need someone who can hit the ground running, work independently, and bring both technical execution and strategic thinking, Kunal is your person.
