About

Senior executive with 15+ years of experience building, scaling, and transforming businesses at the intersection of strategy, finance, product, and growth, with a strong background in technology and SaaS platforms. Currently serving as Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of a core Business Unit, combining financial leadership with platform strategy, product vision, growth acceleration, and M&A execution, including extensive post-merger integration. My focus is on building integrated, native SaaS platforms and translating long-term strategy into clear, execution-driven roadmaps. I have led large, multidisciplinary executive teams across periods of rapid growth and transformation, with a leadership approach centered on high performance, accountability, and culture. I believe strong results are built through clarity of direction, empowered teams, and alignment around purpose and long-term value creation. My career spans Investment Banking, Private Equity, and operating roles, with deep experience in M&A, capital allocation, governance, and board-level decision-making. I actively contribute at the board level, supporting strategic planning, governance frameworks, and sustainable growth across complex organizations. I am deeply committed to developing leaders, mentoring senior talent, and building organizations that scale with discipline, resilience, and a long-term mindset
