CEO MONTHLY / DECEMBER 2025 14 Most Innovative Financial Wellness CEO 2025: Mo Radjab n innovator in fintech, Mo Radjab has been making significant waves across the industry. He is often described by his peers as a natural strategist and a force to be reckoned with, having played an instrumental role in driving the success of a number of emerging companies. From his expansive network to his unrivalled market expertise to his infectious energy, Mo has certainly established himself as a key player in the fintech sphere and a trusted partner for those seeking financial freedom. Mo’s journey to becoming CEO of Grassfeld was driven by a sole core belief: financial clarity creates freedom. Before founding Grassfeld, he held multiple senior management roles across large international corporate banks – gaining firsthand experience in macroeconomics, leading product teams, managing risks, and lending capital. These positions shaped his perspective on economics, technology, human behaviour, and the structural gaps within the financial system. “I began my career at Robeco,” he recalled, “a well-known private bank in the Netherlands, working with private investors and dealing with large sums of investment capital. Over the years, I noticed a recurring theme: people were not struggling because they lacked ambition; they were struggling because they lacked an accessible financial structure. The tools available were either too technical, too generic, or Taking control of your personal finances can be a daunting task, but one grounded in complete necessity. By creating and tracking your income, spendings, and goals, your path to financial freedom will become clearer than ever before. This is a philosophy championed by Grassfeld, a leading Dutch scale-up providing innovative personal finance management technology across Europe, North America, and the United Kingdom. Today, we celebrate Mo Radjab – the visionary CEO of Grassfeld steering the company to excellence. We heard more from Mo below, following his well-deserved recognition in the Global CEO Excellence Awards 2025. A disconnected from people’s daily reality.” With each bank, Mo built an invaluable foundation in operational discipline, resilience, and product-market fit, all of which he draws upon daily in his current role as the CEO of Grassfeld. This makes the role truly fulfilling for Mo, allowing him to combine every element of his professional background, including product innovation, financial empowerment, scalable technology, and a relentless focus on user outcomes. “Being at the helm of a fast growing fintech company means I must constantly shift between visionary strategy and operational execution,” he shared. “My past experiences taught me how to balance the big picture with the small details, the macro and the micro, which I believe is one of the most underrated skills in modern leadership. I didn’t simply step into the CEO role; I built the foundation for it through years of trial, insight, and belief in a better way to help people manage and worship their money.” That is precisely what Grassfeld stands for: redefining how people interact with their money. This fast-scaling American and European fintech firm is dedicated to helping individuals achieve long-term financial wellbeing through innovative, automated, and hyper-personalised money management tools. To this end, the firm’s flagship product is a personal finance platform expertly designed to simplify, optimise, and empower users to manage their income, expenses, savings, debt, and investment – all in one intuitive interface. At its core, Grassfeld’s mission is clear: to give every individual the clarity and control they need to make confident financial decisions. It is with this mission that the firm aims to achieve its ambitious vision of becoming the world’s most trusted and human-centred financial platform, empowering millions of people to build a financially free future, on their own terms. As Mo aptly stated, “Our combination of automation, design simplicity, and deep personalisation provides us our unique edge.” “Financial wellbeing should not be reserved for the few with access to advisors; it should be available to everyone, every day, right from their phone.” Every element of Grassfeld’s functions is centred around the belief that financial wellbeing should be simple, accessible, and intelligently adaptable to the user’s real life.

While now well-defined, each of these pillars was forged through trial, error, and unrelenting learning. “Building Grassfeld has been one of the most rewarding and demanding journeys of my life,” Mo reflected. “As with any company that aims to disrupt a legacy industry like personal finance, we’ve faced both systemic challenges and breakthrough opportunities, each shaping me as a leader and sharpening our company’s mission.” The personal finance app market is remarkably competitive, with numerous
