Hi, I’m Yan Du<\/strong> \u2014 <\/mark>founder of Finnovix and somewhat obsessed with turning finance data into decisions that actually matter.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourteen years ago, when I was an assistant professor of accounting, I shared an office with a colleague who’d recently left consulting. Our daily debates kept circling back to the same observation: companies were drowning in data but starving for insight<\/strong> \u2014 not because the data wasn’t there, but because the frameworks to make sense of it weren’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That question stayed with me through seven years of teaching and research<\/mark><\/a>. Eventually the classroom wasn’t enough \u2014 I wanted the engine room. I joined DEME Group<\/mark><\/a>, a global marine engineering company, where I spent seven years across Digital Finance, Data Governance, and Business Analysis \u2014 working on system implementations, cost control, and performance reporting.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2026 I founded Finnovix \u2014 to bring that combination of rigour and hands-on experience to other organisations facing the same challenge.<\/p>\n<\/div>
