What I'm looking for

I seek senior finance roles where I can scale finance functions, implement controls and KPIs, lead multidisciplinary teams, and support strategic growth.

I am a CFO and Administration Director with more than 20 years of national and international experience maximizing profitability through forecasts, financial reporting, internal controls and compliance. I have been a key participant in the start-up operations of two companies that now report sales in millions of USD.

I build and structure finance and administration departments (AR, AP, Treasury, Invoicing, Risk Management) and lead multidisciplinary teams to improve productivity, implement KPIs and secure lending and investment. I have led groups of up to 25 direct reports across HR, Accounting, Treasury and Purchasing, reporting to CEOs and Boards.

My experience spans primary sectors (hogs, coffee, palm oil), commodities trading and commercial operations, where I delivered results such as 100% plant productivity increases, securing a $25M long-term bank loan, and improving cash flow and reporting timelines significantly. I emphasize internal controls, budgeting, consolidation and IFRS/GAAP compliance.

I bring an inspiring leadership style focused on organizational development, people growth and measurable operational improvements, seeking roles where I can continue to scale finance functions, optimize resources and contribute to strategic decision-making.
