What I'm looking for

I seek senior finance leadership (CFO/GM) roles to drive compliance, profitability, treasury optimization and data-driven decisions; open to remote roles across CET, UTC±6 and PST.

I am a chartered accountant and finance executive with over 20 years' experience leading finance, audit, and risk functions across corporate and maritime sectors. I focus on aligning financial strategy with business objectives to deliver measurable results.

As General Manager (Finance) I led initiatives that increased profitability by 20% and improved cash reserves by 25% through strategic financial planning, cost optimization, and a cash-flow projection model. I also implemented financial reporting systems that reduced reporting errors by 30% and improved timeliness.

I have built robust internal controls and IFRS-compliant reporting frameworks, achieving 100% regulatory compliance and reducing external audit exceptions by 40%. I led capital-raising efforts that secured over $5 million and directed fraud investigations that prevented losses exceeding $100,000.

I hold an MBA and M.Sc. in finance-related fields and professional credentials including ACA/FCA, CBAP, ERMCP and Google Data Analytics. I seek senior finance leadership opportunities where I can drive compliance, treasury optimization, tax strategy and data-driven decision-making.
