What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic financial leadership and offers opportunities for growth and innovation.

I am a visionary Finance and Audit Leader with 18 years of experience in Accounting, Financial Planning & Analysis, M&A, Internal Auditing, and Risk Management. My career has been marked by proven success in driving financial operations and audits across diverse sectors including Manufacturing, SaaS, Startups, Hospitality, Asset Management, Financial Services, Telecom, and Government. I have a strong expertise in cost optimization, compliance with IFRS/IGAAP, and the automation of financial processes using SAP and ERP.

Throughout my career, I have managed multi-million-dollar portfolios, significantly boosted profitability, and enhanced financial controls and audit frameworks. I have served as Head of Finance for Southeast Asian operations of a listed French CPG/Manufacturing company with global revenue exceeding $10B and acted as CFO for an American SaaS company, overseeing financial strategy for its Indian entity. My leadership in internal audits and risk initiatives has improved compliance with SOX, IFRS, and IGAAP, reducing repeat audit findings and ensuring financial alignment across various entities.
