Work at the intersection of finance, operations, governance and execution.
My strongest contribution is in organisations where resources, priorities and accountability need to be managed with clear numbers, practical operating routines and disciplined follow-up.
I have worked across industrial distribution, banking and mission-driven education, with experience in budgeting, forecasting, KPI reporting, working capital, cost control, risk oversight, process discipline and cross-functional coordination.
Since relocating to Belgium, I have helped build and scale an educational nonprofit, focusing on financial visibility, resource allocation, reporting routines and operational structure.
I am most effective where finance is expected not only to explain performance, but to improve how an organisation works.
