What I'm looking for

I’m immediately available and open to all locations. I’m looking to lead enterprise finance for multi-entity IFRS/US GAAP organizations—strengthening SOX controls, improving working capital and cash generation, modernizing ERP/close, and partnering with executives on commercial decisions.

I’m an FCCA-qualified finance leader with 18+ years’ experience across NYSE-listed multinationals, high-growth industrial businesses, and complex multi-entity operations in the UK and GCC. I lead finance functions beyond reporting—strengthening controls, improving cash generation, resolving operational inefficiencies, and partnering with executive leadership to support commercial decisions.

In SOX-regulated, multi-entity environments, I’ve owned IFRS reporting across manufacturing, projects, trading, and service operations, led SOX compliance and audit engagements, and improved close speed from 4.5 to 3.5 days (22%) while maintaining compliance. I’ve also driven working-capital results—reducing unposted invoices by 60–70% and unvouched AP by 80%, improving DSO by 10 days (releasing ~ $1.5M), and resolving 3,000+ invoice/payment allocation issues—alongside ERP transformation and internal-control initiatives.
