What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior finance or strategy roles where I can lead M&A, drive cross-market growth, integrate ESG into strategy, and deliver measurable P&L impact.

I am an International Growth & Strategy Executive with 15 years of experience in corporate strategy, financial planning & analysis, and leading M&A activities across North America and Europe. I have a proven track record driving profit turnaround, forecasting, and contribution margin optimization to grow P&L value.

I led financial operations and strategic planning for Barilla Group in Canada, the US and France, managed forecasting and SKU rationalization, and executed a CA$160M integration. I also implemented ESG initiatives earlier in my career at La Française AM and AXA IM, developing ESG screening tools and reporting frameworks.

Outside corporate roles, I co-founded and helped scale Sensefolio, applying SQL and Python for analytics and product development, and bringing ESG signals into investment products. I seek to leverage my cross-market finance, M&A and ESG expertise to drive business growth and long-term value creation.
