What I'm looking for

I seek senior finance roles (CFO/Finance Director) in remote-first or hybrid companies where I can lead treasury, payments infrastructure, SAP-driven automation, and cross-border financial operations.

I am a Finance Director with 26+ years of international experience across EMEA, focused on treasury operations, cash flow management, and payments-adjacent sectors including banking and cross-border settlements.

As founder & CEO of an Estonian fintech (Cirstrust Tech OÜ), I led product, financial operations, investor materials, and patent development while building automation-driven processes and regulatory compliance frameworks.

I have built and scaled finance functions and shared-service operations, implemented SAP modules (FI/CO/TRM/CM), driven IFRS implementations, and optimized cash flow and treasury across multi-country environments.

I thrive in fast-paced, remote-first teams and seek roles where I can lead finance transformation, payments infrastructure, and strategic treasury initiatives to support growth and regulatory readiness.
