He earned a B.S. degree in Mathematics from UCLA, an M.B.A. degree from the UCLA Anderson School of Management, is a Certified Public Accountant in the State of California, and holds a host of other professional certifications.

“As a rapidly expanding SaaS business delivering ecosystem integration software solutions to fuel our 4,000+ customers’ eCommerce-driven growth, Cleo has been looking for the most qualified CFO to join our exceptional organization as we scale to the next level,” Rajasekharan said. “Given Drew’s deep experience with high-growth SaaS businesses, his knowledge of the capital markets including taking companies public, extensive M&A expertise on both the buy-side and sell-side, and his outstanding professional background and tech industry savvy, we are thrilled to welcome him into the global Cleo family.”
