Jessica Holzbach is a serial fintech entrepreneur and CEO of Pile Capital, a treasury solution helping startups and VCs to manage their treasury and reduce financial risk. 

Before founding Pile Capital, Jessica co-founded and successfully built up Penta, a digital business bank that quickly became one of Germany's most renowned financial platforms.

Jessica's impressive achievements have not gone unnoticed. She has been recognized as one of Forbes's "30 under 30" and has been named to Capital's "Top 40 under 40" list. In addition, she won the German Startup Award in 2021, cementing her status as a leader in the startup community.

Beyond her work at Pile Capital, Jessica is a sought-after advisor to other fintech companies and is a seasoned speaker at startup and finance events. She is also an active angel investor in early-stage companies and funds, helping shape the industry's future.
