What I'm looking for
I am a finance leader with 8+ years' progressive experience across financial management, reporting, and AI/LLM training, combining corporate finance expertise (IFRS/GAAP, valuation, forecasting) with hands-on ERP and BI analytics to improve operations and model performance. I have a proven record of delivering measurable improvements—reducing funding shortfalls, cutting operating expenses, and streamlining reporting processes.
As an FMVA-certified analyst and experienced LLM finance trainer, I design high-quality training datasets and QA protocols that reduce financial reasoning errors and enhance model reliability.
