Tomek Siergiejuk
CFO, building scale, advisor and mentor to founders
Speaking with Tomek was a genuine pleasure. He's very informed on the subjects we spoke about and he took a high level, to in depth approach for every question. He made sure to highlight the key points in the topics I wanted to discuss, the pain points in the potential customers I may find, as well as potential use cases for my solution that I hadn't even thought of. On top of that, our conversation felt very personable and I felt very at ease opening up. I would 100% recommend booking time and l'd love to rebook sessions as I progress.

Expertise
Advice on funding
I spent many years in investment banking working with management teams to prepare their businesses for fundraising, private placements, and IPOs. I can help with drafting the story, building the presentation, and practicing delivery. We can talk through debt vs. equity, raising money from friends and family vs. venture capital vs. private equity vs. public markets.
Building a team
I built teams for the office of the CFO and for a business unit. I can help think through team structure to meet goals, roles and responsibilities, setting a vision, hiring right level of talent, sourcing talent, building an incentive plan, setting targets, and managing performance. I can also help with moving folks from an individual contributor to a manager, difficult performance conversations, giving feedback, promotion and terminations.
Career guidance
Everyone is great at something. I help folks get there, see the picture from multiple angles, and identify steps to reach their highest potential. I can talk in detail about investment banking, strategy, CFO, and sales jobs.
Pricing strategy
I'm good at setting the optimal price schedule to meet your organization's goals. Talking through options, two-way doors, offers, and maximizing pricing for client acquisition and retention.
