What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own FP&A and finance business-partner deliverables—executive reporting, KPI systems, and investment-grade models—partnering across Commercial, Operations, and International Trade in a remote-first, async environment.

I’m a Strategic Finance professional with 7+ years driving FP&A, Corporate Finance, and Business Partnering across a Fortune-500 energy conglomerate and high-growth ventures. I focus on turning data into executive-ready insights through precise financial modeling and clear reporting.

In my current role, I design and manage multi-cadence KPI and reporting systems that connect P&L, cash flow, cost allocation, and the balance sheet across trading, import, and fuel distribution. I reconcile managerial results with accounting and general ledger records, run variance analysis, and build BC vs. Actuals bridges with corrective recommendations for C-level leadership.

Previously, I served as Finance Lead for a greenfield e-mobility (EV charging) startup, where I built financial infrastructure, owned P&L, and partnered directly with the CEO and board. I led planning and QBRs with board-ready materials, strengthened internal controls during transformation, and developed business cases with scenario analyses to support investment decisions.

I bring deep corporate finance and M&A experience, including investment memos, valuation models, governance for joint ventures, and financial governance for high-Capex investments and divestments. I operate with a remote-first, async-first mindset, delivering board-quality work with autonomy, precision, and cross-functional alignment.
