What I'm looking for

I seek senior finance leadership or ERP consultancy roles where I can lead ERP implementations, streamline processes, mentor teams, and drive strategic financial performance in collaborative, growth-focused organisations.

I bring two decades of finance experience across technology, medical, garment manufacturing and IT consultancy, leading full-cycle ERP implementations and strategic P&L management to drive sustainable revenue growth and cost synergies. I have delivered cross-regional ERP transformations, including projects at MAS Holdings and multinational clients, achieving measurable efficiency gains such as a 30% reduction in manual data entry.

I hold advanced finance and ERP credentials (MSc Accounting & Finance, MA HRM, SAP certifications, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt) and specialise in process improvement, financial planning, risk management and team development. I am passionate about mentoring teams and aligning technology with business strategy to improve accuracy, compliance and performance.
