Problem: Profile mismatch and delayed deployment

Complex transformation, capital readiness, and value creation require versatile, AI-literate finance leadership with rapid onboarding. Today:
 

  • ​Most professionals are siloed across finance, strategy, or operations

  • AI adoption is superficial, limited to isolated LLM experiments

  • ​Traditional hiring processes are lengthy, delaying time to impact

  • ​Permanent hires add fixed overhead despite dynamic, situation-dependent needs

About Me

Baris Silahcioglu

I am an independent finance professional supporting companies through growth, transition, and high-stakes situations. I combine finance, strategy, and operational execution to drive performance and enable better decision-making.

​

Transformiq is the platform I use to deliver CFO-level support with the structure, tools, and standards companies expect — not a typical freelance setup. My work is supported by enterprise-grade AI, allowing me to deliver high-quality output with speed and efficiency, without the overhead of a larger team.

​

I hold a BA in Economics and an Executive MBA from IMD, and completed Stanford’s Digital Transformation Program. I co-authored an award-winning Harvard Business Review case on business ethics.

Discover The Impact

Finance issues compound over time. Address them early, not when they become critical.

Strengthen financial performance and ensure investor readiness with the right structure and leadership in place.
