What I'm looking for

I'm seeking fractional CEO/strategic director roles in growth-focused fintech or trading firms to drive scaling, governance and revenue growth; prefer advisory (4–8 hrs/month), outcome-driven teams, strong compliance culture and measurable KPIs.

I am a versatile, results-driven business executive with over 14 years of leadership experience building and scaling regulated trading, brokerage and fintech businesses. I founded and scaled regulated financial services firms, delivering measurable growth—growing a client base to 200,000, increasing revenues twenty-fold, and improving revenue by 32% through CRM forecasting and operational redesign.

I focus on aligning people, processes and technology to drive efficiency, risk-managed returns and regulatory compliance (FSC, AML/KYC, ACI). I build high-performing teams, streamline workflows with automation and KPI dashboards, and am available for strategic advisory engagements (4–8 hours/month) to open investor and partnership opportunities.
