What I'm looking for

I help PE-backed companies through first-100-days post-acquisition integration—building FP&A, cash forecasting, controls, and board/investor reporting—to accelerate value creation, support M&A execution, and prepare exits.

I’m a seasoned Finance Executive with 15+ years of experience across PE/VC-backed companies, investment banking, and large corporations. As a dual-profile Freelance CFO / Head of FP&A and former Sell-Side Analyst, I combine deep financial modelling with hands-on operational finance leadership.

I consistently deliver value creation for Private Equity sponsors across the full investment lifecycle—post-acquisition integration, FP&A build-out, M&A execution, and exit preparation. I’ve operated across SaaS (ARR/MRR), EdTech, Trade, Energy, and Industrial sectors in France and the MEA region, building budgeting/forecasting, 13-week cash flow monitoring, governance & internal controls, and board/investor-ready reporting.
