What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role where I can leverage my financial expertise to drive strategic growth and innovation.

I am a finance professional with over 15 years of experience leading financial strategy and operations in fast-paced environments, including SaaS startups and multinational organizations. My expertise lies in process optimization for scalability and leading cross-functional teams. I have a proven track record of streamlining financial workflows and enhancing financial reporting accuracy, securing $35M in Series B funding, and improving budget efficiency by 15%.

In my current role as a Senior FP&A Manager at Tyk Technologies Ltd, I manage financial and commercial reports that support informed business decisions. I successfully drove 25% greater investor interest during our Series B funding round, which resulted in securing $35M in additional funding. My efforts in developing a long-term budget strategic plan have aligned short-term goals with long-term objectives, leading to a 15% increase in the company's target. I am passionate about translating data into strategic insights to support organizational growth and profitability.
