Clue welcomes new CFO

We’re excited to welcome Balint Veres to the team as Clue’s new Chief Financial Officer. Balint brings over 18 years’ experience in corporate finance and investor relations, having led finance operations at global technology and subscription service companies including Grover, Flix Mobility, and Wizz Air. 

Based in Berlin, Balint is focused on accelerating Clue’s path to profitability and setting the financial strategy to realize Clue’s vision of empowering women and people with cycles through profound science and data-driven body literacy.

“Balint’s significant experience in scaling businesses will be invaluable as we continue our journey towards becoming a profitable business, and accelerating access to, and adoption of, Clue’s unparalleled data and health insights globally,” says Audrey Tsang, Clue’s CEO.  

“It’s a privilege to join Clue and to have the opportunity to be part of a company that drives such a meaningful impact in the lives of women and people with cycles,” says Balint. “With significant milestones already achieved and the backing of esteemed investors, Clue's trajectory toward long-term success is undeniable. It's particularly exciting to be part of Clue at this stage in the journey as it shapes a model for femtech companies to have sustainable financial growth that enables even greater impact.”

Let’s get to know our new CFO

What made you want to join Clue?

I have always been drawn to businesses that make a meaningful positive impact in the world while also being set up to be successful businesses – Clue is a prime example of this. Meeting the team and experiencing this mission-driven approach in all my interactions made it clear to me that this is the right place for me. While Clue's long-term potential is enormous, I'm glad that I could still join at a relatively early stage and make a positive impact that will help shape the future of the company.

What are you most looking forward to in your new role?

I see finance as an enabler for the rest of the organization and a crucial part of the strategic decision making, which I'll be able to influence in my role to the fullest.

What’s your outlook on the future of the femtech space?

While femtech should have been receiving the attention it deserves much, much earlier, I'm glad to see that thanks to companies like Clue, we are trailblazing the path ahead and elevating the concept so that it is recognized not only as an impactful enterprise, but also as a business model capable of achieving great financial results.
