Sofia Savén

Sofia has over 10 years of experience working in the banking industry, primarily within Debt Capital Markets and most recently focusing on debt financing for scaleups. Her background has equipped her with a deep understanding of the financial needs and challenges that growing companies face.

Sofia believes that funding is a powerful tool that enables entrepreneurs to turn innovative ideas into reality, and tech companies in particular to flourish. By providing the necessary resources to grow, scale, and make a significant impact on their industries and communities, without diluting their ownership, debt helps entrepreneurs overcome financial barriers, attract talent, and invest in research and development. At Gilion, she helps drive economic growth for founders, and foster a culture of innovation and creativity.

An example of Sofia’s commitment to entrepreneurs was when she, prior to her role at Gilion, selflessly jumped on board to refine an entrepreneurs pitch deck and financial projections ahead of a new equity round. Sofia even participated in the initial rounds of investor meetings, lending credibility and showing her confidence in the venture.
