What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role in finance that fosters innovation and strategic growth.

I am an MBA in finance from Duke University and a CFA charterholder, with a proven track record of leading finance organizations in both established companies and startups. My experience spans across various countries including the US, India, and Kenya, where I have managed transformative projects that drive corporate goals while maintaining a strategic vision.

Throughout my career, I have held key positions such as Chief Financial Officer at Bent Pixels and Bira 91, where I established finance processes from scratch and optimized working capital. My tenure at Hindustan Zinc Limited and General Motors India further honed my skills in operational finance, treasury, and investor relations, allowing me to lead significant M&A transactions and improve profitability across various business lines.

My analytical mindset and collaborative approach have enabled me to build strong finance teams, implement process enhancements, and foster a culture of ownership and accountability. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to organizations that value innovation and strategic growth.
