What I'm looking for

I’m looking for Financial Controller / Finance Director / Deputy CFO-track roles across Africa & Gulf, where I can lead IFRS-driven group finance, strengthen controls, optimize costs, and deliver board-ready strategic reporting.

I’m a strategic finance leader with 10+ years of international experience across Africa, Gulf, and India, managing multi-entity finance functions, group consolidation, and board-level reporting.

Currently, I lead finance for a diversified group with 6 entities and USD 25M revenue, managing a 15-member team while directly advising the CEO and Board on financial strategy, risk, and profitability.

I bring proven expertise in IFRS reporting, FP&A, budgeting and forecasting, cost optimization, audit and compliance, taxation, treasury and cash flow management, and ERP implementation—translating numbers into clear decision support.

I strengthen internal controls and standardize financial processes group-wide, drive KPI dashboards and profitability analysis, and coordinate statutory, internal, and external audits to ensure regulatory compliance.
