I chat with Mustafa about:

2. Modsy — what the company does and what it’s all about.
3. His transition from large company tech companies down to startups.
4. The biggest learnings for implementing and growing finance functions within companies having worked at large, public companies like Best Buy, and Zynga to fast growing startups like Doordash.
