As a strategic finance executive with over 15 years of cross-border leadership, I specialize in driving growth, M&A integration, and financial transformation across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

My role spans full-cycle market entry, P&L ownership, IFRS implementation, and oversight of tax, legal, and operational functions across 8+ international markets. I’ve led successful acquisitions, structured international frameworks, and helped deliver tangible results — including a 22% EBITDA increase and €3M in accounting profit through IFRS optimization. With a hands-on approach and a global mindset, I thrive at the intersection of finance, strategy, and operational execution. My leadership has consistently enabled faster market penetration, improved risk management, and sustainable profitability across culturally diverse regions. PhD candidate in IFRS 9 & financial statement objectivity CIMA/CGMA – Strategic Level (in progress) Speaker & contributor at FEBS, HFAA, and financial publications I’m open to connecting with international business leaders, finance peers, and forward-thinking organizations seeking to expand and scale through finance-driven decision-making.
