Numera Appoints Doreen Griffith Chief Executive Officer, Succeeding Founder Sandeep Shroff

Numera Finance named Doreen Griffith chief executive officer, effective late September 2026, succeeding founder Sandeep Shroff, who becomes chief AI transformation officer and remains on the board. Griffith joined the firm in late September 2026 and also joins Numera's board of directors, GlobeNewswire reported on October 26, 2026.

Griffith Takes Over Numera's CEO Seat

Griffith is responsible for the firm's overall strategy, financial performance, operations and client service delivery. She spent more than 20 years with Grant Thornton, where she scaled multiple business segments as a senior executive, and has served on the boards of Grant Thornton LLP, the American Heart Association's Dallas division and the National Kidney Foundation.

Shroff founded Numera Finance in August 2013 and served as its CEO until Griffith's arrival. In his new role he will lead enterprise AI and technology initiatives, drawing on his early career as a software engineer and his finance and accounting experience, and will continue to oversee some of the firm's larger startup client relationships.

"I'm delighted to welcome Doreen Griffith to Numera as our new chief executive officer," Shroff said. "With her arrival, I can devote more of my time to putting AI and technology to work across Numera so our clients get faster, more accurate reporting and sharper insight into their business."

Griffith said she was joining a team "committed to client satisfaction" and that her focus is making sure every client feels the firm's strength in the responsiveness of their team and the insight behind every report.

Numera's Acquisition And Funding Record

Numera acquired Decimal's direct services business in April 2026, including its team and client relationships, to expand its national client footprint and professional headcount, according to akta.pro company records. The same records show the firm secured Astira Capital Partners as primary financial backer that month to fund an acquisition-led platform buildout, and integrated Taylor Lund, formerly Decimal client services director, to lead the acquired team under the Numera brand.

Numera's records list more than 10,000 clients nationwide and hundreds of professionals across the US, India and the Philippines. The company's own announcement describes an outsourced office of the CFO serving more than 5,000 businesses across 45 states, with professionals in the US, Canada, India and the Philippines.
