What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead finance transformation and controllership as a senior executive—partnering with leadership on governance, budgeting/forecasting, working-capital optimization, and data-driven performance improvements in high-growth, multi-country environments.

I’m a strategic finance and operations leader with 11+ years of experience driving financial governance, controllership, operational finance, business transformation, and performance management across multinational organizations in e-commerce, logistics, technology, banking, insurance, and ERP environments.

I partner with executive leadership to improve financial performance, strengthen internal controls, and deliver operational excellence—building scalable financial processes, leading budgeting and forecasting cycles, optimizing working capital, and enabling data-driven decision-making.
