About

I’m a finance leader with 14+ years of experience across global real estate investment management, fund operations, and institutional reporting. My background includes leading portfolio accounting, audits, valuations, and investor reporting for multi-billion-dollar platforms spanning the U.S., Europe, and Asia. I’m known for bringing clarity to complex environments, simplifying processes, strengthening controls, and partnering closely with investment, asset management, tax, and external stakeholders to deliver consistent, transparent results. My leadership style is grounded in integrity, accountability, and calm execution. I build teams that operate with confidence, improve how work gets done, and scale effectively as organizations grow.
