Stian Pedersen

Partner and CFO at Amp Eleven, providing CFO support across the portfolio — pricing, capital structure, deal mechanics, the unsexy side of building a company that actually compounds.

Before Amp Eleven I was a Director in PwC Deals, with extensive experience in M&A advisory, capital markets and restructurings — focused on private equity and financial services transactions. The years across the table from PE buyers were the best preparation for sitting on the same side of one. I've seen which deals close clean, which ones unwind, and which ones turn into a five-year operating headache no one priced in.

Three degrees from the Norwegian School of Economics: M.Sc. in Finance, M.Sc. in Accounting and Audit, and an Executive MBA in Finance. Three credentials, one operating principle: the numbers always tell the story before the deck does.
