What I'm looking for

I’m looking to partner with leadership on corporate finance and FP&A, owning P&L and governance, building board-ready models, and using AI automation to improve forecasting and budget execution. I value accountability, strategic insight, and measurable efficiency gains.

I’m an MBA-qualified Corporate Finance leader and FP&A Business Partner with 10+ years of experience driving financial strategy, resource optimization, and IT governance for market-leading firms generating USD 270M+ in revenue. I focus on turning complex financials into actionable, C-Suite-ready decisions.

In my current role, I lead end-to-end financial governance by managing corporate P&Ls, structuring multi-million rolling forecasts, and controlling comprehensive OPEX and CAPEX budgets. I’ve spearheaded the financial architecture and evaluation for 100+ investment projects totaling USD 40M+, while supporting autonomous monthly closes and variance analysis for a USD 30M+ operation.

Previously, I built and implemented advanced financial models and board-ready business cases, including designing the MUSA new business vertical model projecting USD 480K revenue with a 40% EBITDA margin. I also evaluated and secured executive board approval for 13 CAPEX cases totaling USD 2.2M across regional campuses and surfaced 7-figure potential savings through OPEX inefficiency analysis.

I’m tech-savvy and focused on automation—integrating AI productivity tools and financial data models to streamline reporting and strengthen forecasting quality. With expertise in tools like Advanced MS Excel, Power BI, and Oracle ERP, I help organizations improve profitability, KPI visibility (ARPU/ARPS), and budget execution discipline.
