What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth, ideally in a dynamic environment focused on innovation and value creation.

I am a seasoned finance professional with over 9 years of experience in high-growth environments, currently serving as a Senior Finance Manager at Adapa/Apollo. My role involves setting up finance departments for portfolio companies, focusing on M&A, FP&A, Treasury, and Investor Relations. I thrive on driving value creation and executing investment strategies through close collaboration with sales, operations, and procurement teams.

Previously, I co-founded an e-commerce retail brand, successfully selling it for six figures after nearly two years. My experience also includes working as an Investment Banking Analyst at UBS, where I contributed to significant green finance transactions, including Europe’s largest green bond issuance. I am passionate about leveraging my financial expertise to foster growth and innovation in dynamic organizations.
