Emil Soujeh founded Qlero with a clear thesis: music rights deserve the same operational rigor as modern finance. Labels and publishers still run royalty workflows on spreadsheets, legacy systems, and manual reconciliations, and the industry pays for it in delayed payouts, audit risk, and lost trust with creators.

His vision is fintech-grade infrastructure for music rights: systems where data lineage, contract logic, and payout accuracy are non-negotiable. Qlero exists to replace fragmented tooling with a platform that rights holders can rely on at scale, from catalog onboarding through statement delivery.

As operator-founder, Emil works across product, sales, and engineering to align what the platform delivers with what the field actually needs. He partners closely with Mattias Lundborg on technical direction and with the commercial team on enterprise adoption, keeping roadmap and go-to-market tied to real operator pain.

Before Qlero, Emil built and led teams at the intersection of technology and complex operational workflows. That background shapes how he runs the company: minimal process, high accountability, and a product culture that treats royalty infrastructure as mission-critical infrastructure, not a back-office afterthought.
