I build regulated finance functions, strengthen controls, and improve cash flow across MENA.
United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
I've built finance, governance, risk, and compliance functions for Aspire Group and led group finance across MSH International, DIOT-SIACI Middle East, and Driesassur. In regulated insurance, reinsurance, and healthcare environments, I translate ADGM, CBUAE, DFSA, DHA, and HAAD requirements into practical controls, reporting, and operational readiness.
As a Certified Fraud Examiner, I've reduced aging receivables by 70–80%, delivered 10–15% cost savings, implemented ERP systems, and developed AML/KYC and anti-fraud programmes. I lead cross-border teams, advise executives and boards, and build finance operations that improve cash flow, audit readiness, and decision-making.
