What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead finance operations, working capital, financial planning and ERP-enabled transformation in complex multinational, manufacturing, infrastructure or project environments.

At Mashamba Enterprises DRC, I provide executive financial leadership for an integrated agribusiness and maize milling operation, overseeing transactional finance, reporting, working capital, cash flow and strategic planning.

I lead AP, AR, billings, collections and supplier payments while strengthening Sage X3 transaction integrity, inventory valuation, product costing, production variance analysis and finance-data governance.

Previously, as CFO for Khatib and Alami’s EDSA Project in Sierra Leone, I led finance strategy, project finance, forecasting and Board reporting for major network investment programmes, including World Bank-funded rehabilitation work.

Across more than 15 years in finance leadership, I’ve built teams, improved controls and reporting, managed treasury and working capital, and partnered with operations, procurement, supply chain, treasury and executive stakeholders across Africa.
