What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic thinking and offers opportunities for growth in project management and finance.

I am a strategic project and account management professional with over 10 years of experience in driving high-impact financial operations and audit management. My expertise lies in leading cross-border teams, managing multimillion-dollar budgets, and delivering exceptional results for clients in sectors such as oil & gas, telecom, and development. As the founder of a successful consultancy, I have honed my skills in stakeholder engagement, process optimization, and client retention, achieving a remarkable 95% retention rate with over 50 B2B clients.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led cross-border audit teams across five countries, ensuring 100% compliance and reducing errors by 30%. My ability to manage restructuring projects has saved clients over $500K in operational costs. I am fully remote-ready and adaptable across global time zones, which allows me to effectively coordinate teams and projects regardless of location.
