What I'm looking for

I seek senior FP&A or commercial finance roles where I can lead reporting transformation, partner with leadership, optimise systems/processes and drive profitability and strategic decision-making.

I am a proactive, CIMA/CGMA-qualified finance professional with extensive FP&A and commercial finance experience across global organisations. I have led FP&A functions, designed planning models and reporting frameworks, implemented client and project profitability reporting, and delivered clear Board-level packs that improved decision-making.

I build dashboards (Power BI) and optimise ERP/forecasting integrations (NetSuite, Adaptive Insights) to drive operational efficiency and margin improvement. I am a multilingual communicator who partners with leadership to challenge performance, deliver strategic insights and support growth initiatives.
