About Jona Angjeli Marashi

With 14+ years of progressive experience, I have built my career leading finance functions across hardware, SaaS, biotech, and life sciences — consistently driving financial growth, operational efficiency, and strategic impact. Currently, I serve as Director of Finance at NPS Prism (Bain & Company), a rapidly growing SaaS/DaaS venture. In this role, I lead global accounting, FP & A, compliance, and strategic decision support while building scalable systems that position the business for continued expansion. Over the past year, I successfully detangled Prism’s finances from Bain systems, designed board-aligned reporting frameworks, streamlined accruals to under 3% variance, and navigated complex tax and revenue issues across multiple regions. I also built and expanded a global finance team, strengthened audit readiness, and partnered with leadership to align financial strategy with growth objectives. Previously, as Senior Director of Finance at Tive, Inc, I spearheaded initiatives that reduced financial close from 30 days to 6, improved AR collections (reducing DSO from 75 to 66 days), and optimized financial processes to scale with growth. At the Institute for Protein Innovation, I managed a $200M investment portfolio, maximizing returns and ensuring organizational cash strength. My leadership philosophy blends analytical rigor with a transformational approach — empowering teams, fostering cross-functional collaboration, and translating financial insights into business strategy. I am passionate about building high-performing finance functions in dynamic, high-growth environments, with a focus on accuracy, efficiency, compliance, and long-term scalability.
