What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead global finance operations where I can improve close cycles, strengthen governance and compliance, build capable teams, and deliver automation that makes financial reporting faster and more reliable.

I'm leading General Ledger and record-to-report operations for LKQ India's North America business, managing close, reporting, SOX audit support, and US GAAP reporting. I accelerated close timelines from five days to three days and built a 20+ member team to improve accountability, automation, and financial statement readiness.

Previously, I led Southeast Asia and Middle East closures at Schneider Electric, including the Digital Finance Layer automation project. Across e-commerce, GCC, and startup environments, I've built finance processes, automated reconciliations, strengthened governance, and earned two Kison Project Awards for simplification initiatives.
