What I'm looking for

I am looking for senior finance roles where I can lead financial strategy, strengthen controls, drive cost and pricing optimisation, and mentor finance teams in a growth-oriented organisation.

I am an accomplished and innovative finance professional with deep experience in general management, accounting, and financial planning. I build and lead high-performing teams and design metrics and KPIs that enable sound management decision-making.

My track record includes managing country-level finance functions, presenting board and Exco results, and implementing centralized finance operations and shared services. I have led pricing, cost-structure reviews, receivables control, and capex planning across multiple SBUs.

I have managed large teams and acted in senior finance leadership roles across FMCG, agribusiness, milling, and banking sectors, executing mergers, acquisitions, and major supplier and customer contracts. I am experienced with enterprise risk management, change management, and delivering measurable cost and performance improvements.

I seek roles where I can apply strategic financial planning, commercial control, and process implementation to drive growth and profitability while mentoring teams and strengthening corporate governance.
