Philippe Sahli has spent his career making corporate finance simple and more intelligent. As Chief Spend Officer at Perk, he leads the charge on transforming how businesses manage spend, from expenses and invoices to smart corporate cards.
Before joining Perk, Philippe founded Yokoy, an AI-powered spend management platform built to bring automation to finance teams. When Yokoy was acquired by TravelPerk, it became the foundation for what Perk is today: a single AI-native platform for travel, events, and spend.
Philippe's background spans both high-growth startups and global finance. He served as CFO at Swiss scaleup Beekeeper and held management roles at Credit Suisse and UBS. In 2021, Forbes recognised him in their 30 Under 30 list for bringing together innovative thinking and an ambitious vision.
