Alok Pandey, VP Finance & Corporate Development at AnchorFree
On this episode of The Backbone, I chat with Alok about:
- His journey into tech after starting his career at JP Morgan as an Investment Banker, and then moving into growth stage investing at TCV to private equity firm Vector Capital.
- About AnchorFree — what company does and what is it all about.
- As the finance leader for a company serving both consumer and enterprise customers, what challenges does he face and what the benefits are.
- How the transition from banking and investing into operating has been and what has surprised Alok the most.
- His Corp Dev role within the company, what it entails, and how strategic acquirers look at acquisitions vs private equity investors.
We close things off with a quickfire round:
- Your go to online resource for all things startup finance related
- Your favourite productivity hack
- Tech jargon that makes you cringe
- The best advise you’ve received
- One thing you don’t leave the office before finishing
