Andrea Baronchelli is the Co-founder and CEO of Aspire, the finance stack for global founders.

Before launching Aspire, Andrea was part of Lazada’s founding team (exit to Alibaba Group), where he led growth and operations across multiple markets, including roles as CMO, EVP, and CEO. That experience shaped his conviction that modern founders deserve a financial platform as global as their ambitions.

Under his leadership, Aspire has grown into a global company serving 50,000+ businesses across 30+ markets, backed by Sequoia, Lightspeed, Y Combinator, and PayPal, and recognised by CB Insights and CNBC as one of the world’s Top Fintechs two years running.

Andrea is a Y Combinator and Rocket Internet alumnus, and continues to champion the next generation of founders building across borders.
