OUR PURPOSE: 

To guide businesses in cultivating continuous cycles of virtuous and sustainable value creation.

BRIEF HISTORY:
Embarking on our journey in Sydney's fintech scene was the first chapter of many. These ambitious startups turned to Speraco’s expertise in financial systems and regulatory compliance to develop sustainable and impactful product pipelines.

Over the years, Speraco has been a subtle yet pivotal support for directors and leaders, helping them fulfil their fiduciary responsibilities, building stakeholder trust and business sustainability. We've quietly worked behind the scenes, guiding businesses to grow and resonate with why they exist.

Together with respected Australian entities, we’ve navigated the complex terrains of business, preserving and elevating social licenses to operate, fostering an environment where businesses are a force for good.

WHO WE ARE:

With decades of experience in high-trust leadership roles, we, at Speraco, are optimists and inclusive empaths. Our mission is threefold:

- Deliver expertise infused with empathy, combining purpose-based vigor with performance-driven practices.
- Establish trust-enabling mechanisms for businesses facing dynamic complexity, serving communities and accountable to stakeholders.
- Aid companies in transitioning to a purpose-driven future, profiting by addressing systemic societal issues and challenges.


WHERE WE ARE HEADING:

Credigro Platform – where principled investment harmonizes with sustainable innovation.
‍
Currently under development and slated for release in early 2025, the Credigro Platform is crafted to facilitate a value-based impact investment approach. This platform applies a discerning materiality lens to forge enduring business models. It empowers organizations to actualize their corporate purpose and enhance their social capital, aligning their strategic outcomes with globally respected goals and within universally acknowledged sustainability and governance frameworks.

OUR FOUNDER:
Pankaj has led the development and rollout of regulatory infrastructure across highly regulated service sectors in Australia, New Zealand, and the ASEAN region for over 15 years. In the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, he spearheaded the creation of industry and market data infrastructure for asset managers and superannuation funds in the Australian, New Zealand, and ASEAN financial services industries. These industry utilities were essential in promoting sustainability within the post-GFC regulatory and market environments.

Building on this foundation, Pankaj has since led numerous sustainability-focused initiatives, designing and embedding critical utilities across the healthcare, early education, disability, and aged care sectors. A systems thinker and futurist, he collaborates with forward-thinking leaders who prioritize radical transparency and view sustainability as a pathway to creating long-term value with positive impact on people and the planet.
