In his role, he will find gaps in operations that can be optimized. He brings a wealth of experience to his role, which will benefit current and future customers alike,” added Ridwan.
In his new role at Pluto, Ivan’s mission is to redefine the finance landscape by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technology with time-tested practices. His vision centers on the automation of labor-intensive accounting processes, ushering in an era of unprecedented efficiency. He envisions Pluto as the gold standard in finance transformation software, serving as a catalyst for sustainable growth in businesses of all sizes.
Ivan’s recent accomplishments include leading transformative projects, where he crafted comprehensive Finance Process Architectures and spearheaded Procure to Pay implementations. His unique blend of academic knowledge and practical expertise sets him apart as a true innovator in the field of finance transformation.
“I am thrilled to be joining Pluto — the leader in Enterprise Grade spend management in the UAE. Given my Financial Operations Transformation background, what drew me to Pluto was their vision in automating complex, labour-intensive spend management and account payables processes. Together with the Pluto team I am excited to deliver unparalleled efficiency to our Enterprise customers, the likes of Property Finder and others who are leveraging Pluto to automate their financial operations,” said Ivan Jesus, Finance Transformation Practice Leader, Pluto.
