ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Fio was founded by CEO Ajay Wasserman, a visionary millennial entrepreneur who created a “true one-stop service” designed to empower modern entrepreneurs. Starting his career as an electrician at just 16, Ajay quickly realised the importance of a service that could support every facet of a business.

Driven by his own experiences and challenges, he envisioned Fio as the essential thread that binds all departments of an enterprise together, allowing business owners to focus on their core expertise. Fio’s goal is to streamline processes, simplify operations, and ultimately enable entrepreneurs to achieve more without being bogged down by logistics.
