About Rohan Surana

I\'m the person founders call when a problem doesn\'t fit neatly into any one function - growth, strategy, operations, finance, partnerships. I own it end-to-end.I\'m Rohan Surana - a startup operator with 2+ years as a Founder\'s Office generalist / Chief of Staff for startups and global institutions.

At Wells Fargo, I audited high-risk controls and streamlined global operations. At JM Financial, I analyzed FinTech markets and presented insights to 60+ stakeholders including MDs and CXOs.Problem-Solving Across Domains: Whether managing P&L, designing GTM, building acquisition systems, optimizing operations, developing partnerships, or executing initiatives - I act as connective tissue between strategy, finance, marketing, and operations.Key Achievements:• P&L forecasting & cost optimization for multi-school operations (Rishihood)• Harvard Asia Conference Delegate & 50% Scholar (10K+ applicants)Core Competencies: Founder\'s Office, Chief of Staff, Strategy, Business Operations, Finance, FP & A, Growth, GTM, Partnerships, Program Management, Stakeholder Management, Cross-Functional Execution.Tools: Excel, Notion, PowerPoint, Figma, Financial Modeling, CRM, Analytics.Industries: EdTech, FinTech, SaaS, Startups, Venture Capital.I\'m best at: Taking ambiguous problems off founders\' plates and owning them to completion.Open to remote roles with growth-stage startups, particularly in the US ecosystem.If you\'re a founder building something ambitious: r••••••••@gmail.com.
