What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role that challenges my financial expertise and offers opportunities for strategic impact.

I am an experienced Chief Financial Officer with over 16 years of expertise in finance, legal & compliance, financial planning & analysis (FP&A), mergers & acquisitions (M&A), and strategic management. My career has been marked by significant achievements, including raising $25 million in funds and reducing operational costs by 8% through process improvements. I have a proven track record in implementing ERP systems across multiple organizations, enhancing financial reporting, and driving cost-saving initiatives.

In my current role as Finance Director at Amzur Infotech India Pvt Ltd, I lead the finance and legal departments for global business operations. I work closely with the CEO and C-suite leadership to drive strategic planning and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. My leadership has been instrumental in transitioning FP&A and treasury processes to shared service centers, and I have successfully managed fundraising activities, raising approximately $1.5 million in capital.

My technical proficiency includes advanced skills in MS Excel, QuickBooks, Power BI, SAP, and various ERP systems. I am passionate about leveraging my financial expertise to drive organizational growth and efficiency while maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders and clients.
