I optimize cash, liquidity, and working capital while advancing treasury digitisation and data-driven financial analysis.
What I'm looking for
At Société Grand Moulin du Cameroun, I lead treasury for a multinational, improving profit from financing activities by 20% within my first two years. I manage capital structure, bank borrowing, cashflow forecasting, liquidity, FX risk, and international trade finance.
Previously at Multiprint Sérigraphie SA, I transformed cash and liquidity management processes, reducing overall CLM activity costs by 2% over two years. I also co-led an SAP upgrade, developed PMO procedures, and monitored high-value infrastructure projects through investment appraisal and discounted cash flow analysis.
A two-year stay in Kenya sparked my transition from traditional treasury into FinTech. I’m building skills in Data Science, Python, and treasury digitisation to automate cash-management solutions, while mentoring young women in Cameroon in ICT and leadership.
