What I'm looking for

I'm looking for senior finance leadership opportunities in retail, commercial finance, or FP&A, including remote or hybrid work, where I can improve profitability, liquidity, planning rigor, and strategic decision-making.

At GMG (Sun & Sand Sports), I consolidate budgets and monthly MIS across seven business segments in MENA and SEA, build seven-year plans, and support CFO, Board, and bank reporting.

Previously at Soho General Trading and Apparel FZCO, I led budgeting, pricing and markdown analysis, store and brand feasibility cases, working-capital improvements, statutory audits, and retail KPI reviews. I have supported Oracle, LS Retail, and Microsoft Business Central transformations while strengthening controls and mentoring finance teams.

Across 18+ years in India and the UAE, I’ve partnered with leadership to improve margin, inventory governance, cash conversion, and data-driven decisions for multi-brand retail organizations.
