What I'm looking for

I seek senior finance roles where I can lead treasury or corporate finance functions, mentor teams, drive SME funding solutions, and contribute strategic financial leadership in growth-focused organizations.

I am a finance professional with 18+ years' experience across treasury, investment analysis, corporate finance and SME finance, combining multinational exposure with entrepreneurial leadership.

I led treasury operations supporting average daily funds of US$2.2B and contributed to group reporting for assets exceeding US$12B, while managing SAP implementation and external audit processes.

As a CFO for SME-focused financial services, I approved and managed multi‑million dollar credit decisions, implemented corporate finance and risk frameworks, and personally facilitated SME funding via debt and equity structures.

I am also a committed mentor, part-time professor and volunteer with 20+ years of coaching and community development experience, and hold advanced credentials including MBA, ACA, PMP and Canadian securities and financial planning certifications.
