What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an individual-contributor role in a remote, global environment focused on financial compliance, internal controls, risk management, or project delivery, aligned with AU or US time zones.

At Vestas, I led the global rollout of SAP Process Control (GRC) across seven regions, covering planning, configuration, user training, and go-live support. I also developed Excel-based dashboards to track control execution and reporting across regions.

Earlier, at KPMG Philippines, I led advisory work across internal audit, regulatory compliance, and fraud investigations. I’m a Certified Public Accountant with experience in risk management, control frameworks, and global compliance initiatives.
