OUR TEAM

The people who have done this before.

Valtatech was founded by practitioners, not by a platform vendor. Between them, the leadership team has delivered Source to Pay transformation, procurement platform implementations and eInvoicing programs for enterprises, technology providers and government across Australia, Asia, Europe and the Middle East — and now builds the AI products that close the gaps those engagements kept exposing.

90+Years of combined leadership experience — the figures on this page add up to it
100+Projects delivered across Asia Pacific: consulting, Source to Pay deployments and eInvoicing
29Countries we can connect for eInvoicing through our Peppol Access Point

LEADERSHIP

Who you will actually be working with

Senior expertise that stays close to delivery. These are the people who shape the engagements and stay involved in them.

Jussi Karjalainen

Jussi Karjalainen

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

More than 20 years in Procure-to-Pay transformation, finance automation and digital procurement. Over his career Jussi has led more than 100 global P2P transformation projects, including 25 Coupa implementations — experience in translating complex business requirements into transformation strategies that survive contact with an operating business.

He has advised large enterprises, technology providers and government organisations, with a particular focus on combining process redesign, technology and measurable business value. His work on eInvoicing ecosystems in Asia Pacific includes regularly advising tax and Peppol authorities on national adoption.

Under his leadership Valtatech has become a certified Peppol Access Point provider across five countries — Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan and Malaysia — with a partnership extending eInvoicing reach to 29 countries in total — and has supported large-scale Source to Pay deployments spanning more than 22 countries.

Mayank Rasotra

Mayank Rasotra

Co-Founder & Senior Partner

More than 17 years delivering enterprise-wide change across multiple industries and geographies, combining Source-to-Pay transformation, digital enablement, process automation, supplier management and large-scale program delivery.

Mayank has led and optimised procurement platforms including Coupa and Basware across Australia, Asia and Europe, contributing much of the leadership team's Source to Pay and Coupa implementation experience. His project experience includes procurement rollouts for ASX-listed organisations, supplier enablement programs involving more than 5,000 suppliers, and automation initiatives that reduced invoice cycle times by up to 40%.

At Valtatech he shapes transformation programmes and establishes the governance and execution discipline required to get from strategy through implementation to ongoing improvement — the part that decides whether a program delivers value beyond the system going live.

Vinayak Arora

Vinayak “Vin” Arora

Chief Growth Officer

Twenty-two years of global experience as a strategy, transformation and commercial leader across Australia, Asia Pacific and the Middle East, spanning corporate strategy, enterprise transformation, procurement and supply chain advisory, technology, retail and business development.

Before Valtatech, Vin held senior roles at Woolworths Group, GEP Worldwide, Beroe, Etisalat and Moody's Analytics, and founded Innovcare Advisory. His track record includes carrying P&L responsibility for portfolios of up to US$500 million as Chief Strategy Officer for a global telco's digital holding, and building practices from zero in geographies with no prior brand presence — at a US-based AI market intelligence firm he grew the APJ region from nothing into its fastest-growing, winning more than 15 enterprise clients including a global technology leader.

He has also designed and led large AI and IoT implementations in retail, among the first in the region, mitigating more than US$100 million in risk. That combination — enterprise transformation on one side, commercial ownership on the other — is unusual, and it is what lets him connect what a customer actually needs to what a market will actually buy.

At Valtatech he owns the go-to-market engine: ICP definition, enterprise sales, the partner ecosystem, positioning and revenue operations across APAC, supporting the continued development of the company's Source-to-Pay, eInvoicing, AP automation and AI-enabled offerings.

Balamurugan Doraibabu

Balamurugan “Bala” Doraibabu

Head of Solutions Consulting

Nearly two decades across supply chain and procurement operations, focused on transforming procurement through business process redesign, technology and large-scale Source-to-Pay programs.

Bala's technology experience spans Coupa, SAP SRM, SAP MM, SAP Ariba, SAP S/4HANA Procurement, Ivalua, Zycus and Oracle Procurement — breadth that lets him evaluate requirements from both a business and a technology perspective rather than fitting every problem to one platform. He has worked across consumer products, retail, logistics and transportation, utilities, aviation, telecommunications, banking, public sector, healthcare, plantation and travel retail. Before Valtatech his experience included Hewlett Packard, Capgemini and Ernst & Young.

He works across business, sales and delivery teams to translate complex customer requirements into procurement and finance solutions that fit the operational reality and technology landscape they have to live in.

Cromwell Albarracin

Cromwell Albarracin

Global Head of Operations & Country Manager, Philippines

Fifteen years as an operations and business leader, working across operational excellence, strategic planning, organisational performance and customer management, aligning people, processes and local execution with Valtatech's international objectives.

Cromwell built much of the operational capability the company now runs on. In 2019 he established Valtatech's support operations, creating the foundation for a structured customer support function. In 2020 he oversaw the introduction of InvoiceSense — since renamed VIA, Valtatech Invoice AI — expanding the company's automation capabilities. He also managed Valtatech's ISO 27001 certification and the annual surveillance audits since, embedding information security and compliance into how the business operates.

His work spans performance management, strategic business planning, account management, compliance, crisis management and data-driven reporting — the operational discipline that lets delivery teams across time zones perform consistently.

Why this team built its own products

PayGuard, VIA and our Peppol eInvoicing platform exist because the same gaps kept appearing on client engagements, and no off-the-shelf tool was closing them. Implementation experience is what told us what to build.

PayGuard

Prove a supplier's bank account is theirs before you pay it. See how it works →

VIA

AI-powered invoice capture that routes data into your ERP or procurement platform. See VIA →

Peppol eInvoicing

Certified Access Point provider for standards-based exchange. See Peppol →

Work with the people who have done it before

Whether it is a Source to Pay implementation, an eInvoicing mandate you need to meet, or a PayGuard pilot on ten suppliers — start with a conversation.
