Meet our CFO Alexandros Matthiessen

Two years ago, Alexandros Matthiessen joined Rubio as Finance Director. As of this year, he’s officially our CFO—leading our finance and impact strategy & reporting. 🚀

With >13 years in finance at ao HSBC & EY, Alex has built a career on making numbers work. At Rubio, that means ensuring impact investing is as rigorous as traditional finance—because scaling solutions for a better world starts with knowing how to measure both returns and real change. And managing & reporting on impact is one of the domains where Alex excels as can be seen in our recently released Impact Report.

As Alex puts it: “The global challenges in energy, food, agriculture, and health present unprecedented market opportunities. We back entrepreneurs who can deliver both measurable impact and strong financial returns. Their innovations will drive the sustainable transition our world needs.”

From structuring investments to making sure our portfolio companies have the financial foundations to scale, Alex keeps everything on track—both in euros and in impact. His work ensures that financial strategy and impact goals go hand in hand, aligning capital with long-term value creation. And when he’s not deep in spreadsheets, he’s out chasing the wind (literally) as a dedicated kitesurfer.

Call it CFO, call it Chief Value Officer—either way, we wouldn’t want to do this without him. ❤️
