Florian Cornu

Florian Cornu is a fractional Chief Strategy, Product, and Finance Officer with a career spanning investment management, startup founding, and operational scaling. His unique background combines institutional investment expertise with entrepreneurial grit and fractional leadership across Asia’s high-growth tech ecosystem.
