Numbers have told me stories. Since I was a child. They talk to me and give me analytical insights. I have a unique brand as a CFO, because I have learnt to leverage these insights. To increase profit and growth. To design and implement cost reduction strategies. To measure key metrics and improve operational effectiveness. To develop a strategic roadmap and achieve business objectives.I am a well-rounded finance, accounting and business leader with experience in multiple countries, across various industries, from startups to fast paced growth environments. I collaborate with Boards and senior management teams to make sense out of numbers and improve organizational health. I have significant experience in a range of finance functions, including reporting, planning, budgeting, variance analysis, tax, treasury, audit, procurement, investor relations. I have managed working capital, reengineered processes, implemented and optimized ERP systems, automated controls. I have practical knowledge of project costing, cost accounting and corporate law. I have also effectively handled business turnarounds, reorganizations and crisis situations.While being task focused, I am also a motivational leader. I have worked with multicultural professional groups across various countries, and have high degree of coaching skills. I have mentored individuals in large teams, motivating them to superior performance. I have some unusual passions which feed my soul when I am not focused on work. While gregarious by nature, I cherish my moments of contemplative solitude. I pursue philosophy and meditation. I leverage my internal equilibrium for a constant positive attitude. I practice yoga to be physically agile. I am an avid traveler and have traversed six continents. I am a keen photographer. I write poetry. I have acted in plays. I believe in “pay it forward”, and am serving in leadership positions in 501(c)(3) organizations. I love building bridges across people and cultures.
