How to choose the best finance stack for your SaaS company and why you should begin with the end in mind.
Daniëlle is the VP of Finance of Paddle, a payments infrastructure for SaaS business.
Born in the Netherlands, she went on vacation to Aruba with her parents and never went back. She later moved to the US to live and complete her university. She completed two degrees simultaneously: a bachelor’s in International Community Development and a bachelor’s in Business Administration.
After university, Daniëlle spent 8 years working in the US Hospitality business across the Americas (North, Central, South & Caribbean). She then relocated to the Netherlands to join Booking.com where she held several senior regional and global roles over 4 years, leading numerous innovation and automation projects. Wanting to dive deeper into the tech company space, she stepped into her first start/scale-up, Messagebird.com, as the Head of Finance Operations. At Messagebird she set up and built the operations role, scaled the company globally, and led several company acquisition integrations.
Outside of work, Daniëlle’s hobbies are wave-ski, scuba, going to the gym, shooting pool, salsa dancing, traveling, BBQs, and spending time with her dog and teenager.
