The Conspicuous Treasurer

My Life in Treasury: Gurjit Pannu, Co-Founder, Co-CEO, Palm

Gurjit Pannu, Co-Founder, Co-CEO, Palm, talks frankly to TMI about what inspired his move from corporate treasury into the fintech space and why he feels treasury now has a perfect opportunity to rise to prominence.

Sweden/Netherlands-based Palm was created in January 2023 as a real-time automated treasury software solution. Built from the ground up, the API-connected platform uses AI to enhance cash forecasting and investment decisions.

As the conduit between Palm’s product development team and its corporate treasury customers, Gurjit’s role is often focused on finding new pathways. But in translating the often critical needs of the treasury community into a functioning technical solution, he is able to draw upon many years’ experience at the sharp end of corporate finance, both in treasury and banking.

Gurjit first “landed in treasury” when joining State Street in 2007. He moved between its global trade operations, futures trade, and collateral management desks. “Banking treasuries are quite different from corporate treasuries, so early on for me what was really exciting, being fresh out of college, was seeing billions of dollars being moved around, and being a part of that.”
