About Me

20+years connecting finance
and business performance

Finance executive with 20+ years of experience, including 15 years of CFO leadership, driving financial strategy, FP&A, capital planning, working capital, governance, operational performance, and enterprise transformation. Experienced in building forward-looking finance functions, strengthening financial discipline, optimizing resources, and partnering across the business to improve profitability, cash flow, resilience, and sustainable growth. Connect strategy, finance, operations, ERP, data, analytics, and AI-enabled capabilities to transform Finance from a reporting function into a strategic business partner — enabling better decisions, greater agility, and long-term enterprise value.

20+ years of finance and cross-functional business-process experience, SAP S/4HANA Finance, SAP Analytics Cloud, ERP transformation, enterprise systems capabilities. Transforming Finance into an integrated, intelligent, and data-driven function.

20+ years of real-world finance and cross-functional business-process experience spanning procurement, inventory, manufacturing, product costing, sales, accounting, financial close, FP&A, and management reporting. Bridging business requirements and technology.

Business strategy → People & processes → ERP / SAP → Data, analytics & AI → Management insight → Enterprise value

My approach to transformation

I believe successful transformation happens when organizations connect:

Business Strategy → People → End-to-End Processes → ERP/SAP → Data → Analytics & AI → Management Insight → Enterprise Value

My approach is therefore business-first rather than technology-first. Technology should simplify processes, strengthen controls, improve data quality, automate repetitive work, and provide management with timely information for better decisions.

I am particularly interested in opportunities across three complementary areas:

CFO / VP Finance / Finance Transformation Leadership — strategic finance, FP&A, enterprise performance, working capital, manufacturing finance, transformation, governance, and value creation.

Corporate SAP Finance & Financial Systems — SAP S/4HANA Finance, SAP Analytics Cloud, finance systems, ERP optimization, financial process ownership, reporting, analytics, and business–technology integration.

SAP Finance Transformation & Implementation — SAP Finance functional consulting, process discovery, requirements analysis, fit-to-standard discussions, end-to-end process integration, testing, training, change management, and business adoption.

As finance organizations evolve, I am particularly interested in the intersection of Finance + SAP/ERP + Data + Analytics + Automation + AI, with appropriate attention to governance, controls, data integrity, and human judgment.
