What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my financial expertise to drive strategic initiatives and foster organizational growth.

I am a U.S. Certified Public Accountant (AICPA) with over 20 years of experience in financial controlling, corporate finance, and compliance. My career spans global firms such as KPMG and JLL, where I have honed my skills in strategic financial planning and complex transaction management. I am passionate about delivering actionable insights that drive organizational growth and profitability.

As the Founder of DD GURU, I have implemented financial strategies that stabilize asset performance and ensure cost efficiency in property management operations. My previous roles include Consulting Director at Firststep&Company, where I formulated a successful $3M fundraising strategy, and New Business Director at Continuum Partners, where I led operational improvements that enhanced inventory turnover and reduced logistics costs. My experience at JLL and KPMG further solidified my expertise in financial operations and compliance.
