About Me

I am a finance, administration, and operations leader with more than 18 years of experience across aviation, insurance, and impact investing.

I have built my career around strengthening financial reporting, treasury management, and governance frameworks that help organizations make better decisions.

My background includes senior leadership roles such as Head of Finance, Chief Financial Officer, and Finance Manager, where I have supported boards, executives, investors, and regulators.

I am particularly strong in multi-currency reporting, IFRS compliance, risk and credit management, budgeting, forecasting, and process improvement.

I also enjoy building practical systems and controls that improve visibility, reduce errors, and make finance teams more effective.

I am now looking for opportunities where I can contribute my experience in finance leadership, operations, and strategic decision support to a mission-driven or growth-oriented organization.
