I lead agribusiness finance, strengthening governance, growth, and commercial performance.

At Coffee Management Services Ltd, I've led finance across six coffee supply-chain entities spanning farming, milling, marketing, and agrochemicals, with combined annual turnover of USD 17 million. I guide financial planning, reporting, governance, budgeting, forecasting, and profit-and-loss performance.

I've helped deliver a coffee farm leasing model that added approximately USD 8 million in annual revenue, led agricultural financing programmes advancing approximately USD 11 million annually, and introduced portfolio analytics that supported more than 50% growth. I also led early adoption of IFRS 9, IFRS 15, and IFRS 16, strengthened internal controls, and managed tax audits and transfer-pricing compliance.

My background includes progressive finance roles at CMS and foundational accounting experience in insurance. I build disciplined finance teams, improve reporting transparency, and connect financial insight with sustainable agribusiness growth.
