Sorana Balea joins Pluridio group of companies as Group Chief Financial Officer and Board Member to support the company’s international expansion and financial transformation
Bucharest, July 2025 — Pluridio, a Romanian financial technology company focused on sales automation, real-time decision support, and digital distribution channels for financial institutions, announces the appointment of Sorana Balea as Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Board Member. This strategic appointment signals Pluridio’s readiness to accelerate its international growth and scale its operations globally.
With over 20 years of experience in multinational environments spanning cybersecurity, financial technology, and FMCG sectors, Sorana brings deep expertise in strategic finance, M&A execution, cross‑jurisdictional regulatory expertise and financial governance. Her track record includes senior roles at Bitdefender, Endava, Nestlé, and Grupo Bimbo (Velpitar), where she led large-scale finance transformations and integrated acquisitions across Europe and North America.
Sorana’s appointment comes at a time when Pluridio is accelerating its global roadmap, opening new jurisdictions, and strengthening its ability to deliver advanced financial software solutions across continents.
This appointment also aligns with broader trends in financial leadership of Fintech companies to appoint CFOs with international governance or M&A experience. According to PwC’s CFO Pulse Survey (2025), 64 % of CFOs identify cross-border regulatory complexity as a top inhibitor of companies from delivering value – a challenge directly addressed by Sorana’s profile in the context of rising regulations. McKinsey further reports that 52 % of CFOs now co-lead strategic transformation initiatives, reflecting a shift toward finance executives who combine governance with growth acceleration to significantly change performance and capabilities of organizations.
„Sorana’s understanding of complex regulatory environments, combined with her M&A and transformation experience in multiple jurisdictions, makes her an exceptional fit for the next stage in Pluridio’s journey. We are thrilled to welcome her on board as we scale across borders, deepen our product footprint, and operationalize the next wave of growth,” said Marius Ionescu, CEO of Pluridio.
“Pluridio is entering a high-impact stage of its evolution, and I’m excited to contribute to this transformation. The complexity of the challenges ahead — global growth, compliance across jurisdictions, strategic investments — is exactly what energizes me. Finance must not only ensure control, but actively shape the company’s ability to scale sustainably,” said Sorana Balea.
Sorana’s appointment underscores Pluridio’s commitment to long-term value creation through disciplined financial leadership, continuous innovation, and operational excellence.
