I am a Global Chartered Management Account, with over 25 years’ experience leading financial strategy, compliance, and operations across multinational corporations in Sub-Saharan Africa, I bring both depth and agility to the finance function.
My most recent was that of the Finance Director responsible for statutory and financial reporting, cash flow optimisation, commercial finance strategy, and compliance across a complex business structure. I collaborated directly with EMEA leadership, led the successful migration of accounting functions to offshore centres, and helped achieve budgeted EBITDA growth through pricing and rebate reforms.
I pride myself on being a trusted business partner to senior stakeholders, while also developing high-performing teams and maintaining rigorous financial controls. My goal is to support strategic decision-making through data-driven insights and financial excellence.
