About
Professional summaryI am a finance executive with over 23 years of professional experience across banking, oil and gas, manufacturing, engineering, and construction.
I have built my career around financial leadership, P&L ownership, credit risk, treasury, regulatory compliance, and internal controls. I have led finance functions at senior level and worked closely with CEOs and boards on strategic decisions, funding, and operational efficiency.
I am proud of delivering measurable business impact, including turning a loss-making bank branch into a profitable one and generating over $3M in cost savings through a procurement pre-audit framework.
I also bring strong systems and process experience, including the rollout of accounting software and ERP-enabled controls to improve data integrity, reporting accuracy, and governance across subsidiaries.
My background includes deep exposure to banking operations, tax compliance, financial reporting, budgeting, cash management, and stakeholder engagement with regulators and financial institutions.
I am now focused on senior finance leadership opportunities where I can contribute to profitability, control, transformation, and sustainable growth.
