Rom Lakritz, Co-founder and CEO of Anchor, is a seasoned leader with an unstoppable curiosity to thoroughly and methodically understand everything he dives into. Rom started his career at an early stage venture capital fund. After completing his accounting exams and becoming a CPA, he started to work at EY in the economic department. After his tenure, Rom founded a boutique economic consulting firm where he advised small businesses. It was there that he suffered from the pains of billing, collections, and late payments, but technology was not there yet. Since then, Rom was part of the founding team and executive of five startups and has led the acquisition of Fireglass for $250M by Symantec, Omnix funding of over $35M, and IPO of a London based company in the LSE.
Now, he has returned to solve the challenge he had in the past - the pain of B2B billing & payments - with the Fintech startup Anchor for all service providers and businesses. Mr. Lakrtiz is a certified CPA, attorney, and CFO
