Profiel
Serge joined Movac as a Limited Partner in Fund 3 (2012) and both as a Limited Partner and Operating Partner in Fund 4 (2016).
His principal functions within Movac’s Fund 5 relate to: identifying potential investee companies, assisting with marketing and sales capability due diligence and leading specific growth interventions in the Movac’s portfolio companies.
Serge spent 10 years in mobile banking and payments, principally as Chief Marketing Officer of M-Com, the world’s leading provider of mobile banking platforms to financial institutions (acquired by Nasdaq-listed Fiserv in 2011).
In that period, he gained deep experience in international market entry (US, Europe, Asia, etc), B2B marketing and thought leadership, and managing sales and channel teams at scale.
In the last five years, Serge has been an active investor (and Director) in early-stage, high-growth, going-global Kiwi B2B software companies, with particular attention to growth strategies.
He also dedicates much of his time to the New Zealand tech eco-system as a Beachheads Advisor for New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, convening various industry forums (like Kiss My SaaS) and contributing to various industry panels.
Serge is based in Wellington, grew up in Argentina and has worked extensively in the US, the UK and elsewhere.
He would describe his super-power as ‘disruptive marketing’ and has a long-standing interest in ethics and leadership development.
