About

I am an experienced Finance professional and qualified Chartered Accountant, currently serving as Revenue Recognition Controller & Head of Internal Controls at Temenos AG, a Swiss-listed, industry-leading provider of core banking software. In my Revenue Recognition role, I ensure accurate and compliant accounting treatments as required by IFRS 15. This includes partnering with the Sales organisation with deal structuring, reviewing contracts, and aligning with External Audit on complex judgements. I author accounting policies, deliver training across global teams, and prepare Board-level documentation on critical revenue matters. In parallel, I am leading a multi-year transformation of the internal controls environment, focused on modernising governance, enhancing audit readiness, and embedding scalable, best-practice frameworks across the organisation. Prior to joining Temenos, I spent eight years in KPMG UK's Audit practice, specialising in FTSE-listed Software and Technology clients.
