What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role in finance where I can drive strategic initiatives and foster team development.

I am an accomplished finance executive with over 20 years of experience, including 12+ years in senior leadership roles as CFO, Group Financial Controller, and Financial Controller across fintech, telecom, and consulting sectors. My expertise lies in financial management, regulatory compliance (IFRS, SOX, GAAP), and digital transformation. I have a proven track record of leading high-performing teams, optimizing financial processes, and driving strategic initiatives in dynamic, technology-driven environments.

Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented shared service centers, managed financial reporting for large entities, and led digital transformations that significantly improved operational efficiency. My experience includes managing multi-million dollar contracts, ensuring compliance with statutory regulations, and implementing risk management systems. I am adept in disruptive technologies such as Big Data, AI, ML, and RPA, which I leverage to enhance financial processes and decision-making.
