During my career at Jet Aviation (NYSE: GD), including as Regional CFO for the company’s largest business unit (>2,500 employees), I led large-scale profitability transformations, finance modernization programs, and post-merger integrations with measurable EBIT and cash flow impact. Selected outcomes include: • Increased earnings margins from ~0% to >10% within 3 years • Doubled revenue while expanding margins across a >2,500 employee organization • Delivered $6m EBITDA synergies in a post-merger integration (2x original deal case) • Reduced manual reporting effort by ~80% through digital finance transformation • Implemented SAP S/4HANA and modern BI steering environments enabling real-time financial visibility What differentiates me is the combination of: CFO-level financial rigor operational understanding of engineering-driven businesses value creation mindset and the ability to make economic reality transparent at management and board level I believe sustainable performance starts with transparency: Transparency → Better Decisions → Better Outcomes If your organization is facing complexity, margin pressure, or transformation challenges, feel free to connect, reach out directly or book an appointment with me.
