Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPalanca Palanca is a CFO and portfolio manager based in Singapore who blends a decade of finance and technology leadership to run Titanium Birch’s accounting, compliance, risk, investment, and reporting through software and data engineering. Previously he built and scaled data platforms and teams at ExpressVPN and First Circle—designing privacy-centered, production-grade pipelines that processed terabytes daily and reduced incidents by 90%—and led data-driven underwriting that made SME lending profitable. He started as a data practitioner at Uber and Grab, shipping experimentation and ML systems for marketplace optimisation, then moved into executive roles that combine product, platform, and people leadership. A pragmatic PyData and R user with a taste for Bayesian approaches and practical LLMs, he brings both statistical rigor and engineering craft to financial decision-making. Notably, he has a dual background in applied economics and accountancy, which informs his ability to translate complex technical systems into auditable, investment-grade outcomes.
