Hunain S.
Strategic Finance Partner for Fundraising, M&A & FP&A | Ex e&, VC, IB
Former Etisalat (Largest Telco in UAE) Strategy, M&A & FP&A Head & Harvard PE alum with over a decade of transaction experience ($1B+) delivering institutional CFO leadership, growth strategy, capital raising and M&A advisory. Track Record: $1B+ in cumulative transaction value across 11 closed M&A deals and multiple Capital Raises Current: Director of M&A at Ugentic AI (US PE-backed SaaS roll-up) I bring a rare blend of institutional corporate strategy and hands-on operational finance. Having driven cross-functional strategy at e& and evaluated companies from the investor's side of the table at a Swedish venture fund, I do not just build financial models, I architect the underlying financial operations and management strategies that make companies scalable, profitable, and investable. Today, I operate as a Fractional CFO and strategic advisor for rapidly scaling startups and mid-market businesses. Beyond M&A transaction support, my mandates cover comprehensive management consulting and operational restructuring. I partner with founders to optimize cash flow pipelines, restructure unit economics, implement board-level KPI dashboards, and re-engineer internal processes for scale. I continuously battle-test these exact frameworks in my current role as Director of M&A for Ugentic AI, a US PE-backed SaaS roll-up, and as a subject matter expert for Infoquest.
