Joshua Finer is a pragmatic technical consultant and serial entrepreneur with 20+ years of experience growing consumer-focused businesses from formation to profitable exit, blending hands-on product, marketing and operational leadership. He has deep expertise in customer acquisition—running large-scale Google and Facebook ad programs—payments, risk management, and crypto, and has served as interim CTO/CFO overseeing international payroll, budgets and web-service teams. A practical front-end contributor to notable projects like LBRY/Odysee, he pairs UI work with analytics integrations and a long-standing immersion in Bitcoin since 2013. Known for executional rigor and optimization, he’s launched multiple high-revenue ventures (including early prepaid debit and virtual card products) and intermittently angels in startups. Not obvious from a title: he moves comfortably between board-level strategy and code-level fixes, making him effective at resolving the business-technical gaps that stall growth.
