I have led operations for 70+ customers and guided portfolios of 100+ businesses, securing long-term B2B contracts and high client retention through SOPs, KPIs, and policy design.

My achievements include audit reviews for 200+ companies, DCF-based business valuations, designing NAS/NFRS/GAAP-aligned policies for 20+ firms, and implementing financial dashboards and budgeting systems.

I mentor teams, deliver masterclasses for startups, negotiate MOUs, and act as a management representative for ISO 9001:2015—focused on driving growth, compliance, and financial readiness for investment.
