What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles where I can drive data-led strategy, strengthen governance, own P&L responsibility, and scale multi-country operations in regulated environments.

I am a senior executive with nearly 10 years of leadership across data-driven organizations, finance, policy-adjacent environments, and regulated industries, having served as CEO and COO of a multi-country data and education organization. I deliver measurable outcomes—unifying operations across regions, driving double-digit revenue growth, improving organizational efficiency, and implementing governance and compliance frameworks that establish institutional credibility.

I lead cross-functional executive teams to translate strategy into execution, steward enterprise budgets and P&L, and build analytics-driven decision frameworks using tools such as Power BI. I bring strong executive presence, economics-informed judgment, and a record of building scalable systems, mitigating regulatory risk, and supporting high-stakes Board and CEO decision-making.
