With exceptional leadership skills, I excel in mentoring finance teams, optimizing financial systems, and enhancing process efficiencies across multiple entities and industries in the Eastern Africa Region.

I possess in-depth knowledge of managing tax compliance, fixed asset registers, and inventory valuation, with a strong ability to navigate complex financial challenges and deliver actionable insights for senior management. My collaborative approach has fostered strong relationships with stakeholders, including auditors, suppliers, and insurance providers, ensuring the organization's financial health and regulatory adherence.
