About Rajiv Saraf

Seasoned finance executive with 20+ years of experience driving financial strategy and operational excellence across the technology sector, with deep experience in the semiconductor and hardware technology companies. Proven track record leading complex financial transformations at both public and private companies, including FP & A, finance operations and controllership, capital allocation strategy, IPO readiness, and M&A due diligence. Currently serving as VP Finance at Ambarella (NASDAQ: AMBA), a high-growth edge AI semiconductor company, where I partner with executive leadership on long-range financial planning, investor reporting, and scaling global finance operations through a period of record revenue growth and expanding AI-driven markets.Throughout my career, I have built and led high-performing finance teams that go beyond the numbers — delivering actionable business insights, enabling data-driven decision-making, and aligning financial strategy with corporate objectives. My foundation in Big 4 public accounting (PwC, US and Singapore), combined with hands-on experience across controllership, strategic finance, and capital markets at leading technology companies, gives me a unique ability to bridge technical financial rigor with executive-level strategic thinking. Holding a CPA (US), Chartered Accountant (India), and MBA, I bring a globally-informed perspective to navigating the financial complexities of scaling technology businesses.
