I lead customer success and SaaS adoption, implementing accounting systems with AI-driven workflow optimization and measurable efficiency.
United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a high-agency customer success and implementation leader with 13+ years across accounting, financial operations, and SaaS—turning users into active IT and transformation adopters through hands-on enablement, simplified workflows, and measurable efficiency gains. As an ACCA Member (Distinction Holder), I partner with finance teams to streamline month-end, reporting, reconciliations, and scalable onboarding that drives activation and long-term retention.
In my current role (Manager Planning and Transformation Operations, Music Tribe HQ FZE), I lead AI-driven transformation across finance and general operations, improving productivity by driving adoption of ChatGPT, Claude, and automation platforms. Previously at Visionet Systems, I led end-to-end onboarding for D365 Finance and Operations and improved implementation efficiency by 50%+ and financial data accuracy/reporting reliability by 80%+. I’m at my best bridging business, finance, and technology—standardizing governance, resolving adoption resistance (data migration, usability, trust), and continuously refining workflows using real user feedback.
