My experience spans across leading audit teams at Ernst and Young and Deloitte, where I have successfully managed complex audits for some of the largest asset management companies. I pride myself on my ability to multitask effectively while ensuring compliance with US GAAP and IFRS standards.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated leadership by coaching and mentoring audit professionals, fostering a collaborative team environment, and building strong client relationships.
