What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead global controllership and finance transformation in a PE-backed or high-growth environment, using ERP modernization, automation, strong controls, and cross-functional partnership to improve reporting and scale international operations.

At Getinge Canada, I lead Canadian finance operations for a publicly listed global medical technology group, overseeing IFRS reporting, consolidation, intercompany eliminations, foreign-currency translation, tax compliance, and full P&L accountability.

I've built SOX-equivalent control frameworks with zero material audit findings, led SAP implementation and close-process redesign, and translate technical accounting requirements into clear reporting for executive and operational teams.

Across Getinge, Maquet Dynamed, and UNFI Canada, I've modernized finance workflows, managed cross-functional teams, strengthened regulatory compliance, and delivered timely financial insight in complex distribution and healthcare environments.
