With several years of experience as a CFO and financial consultant, I have built a strong track record in financial leadership, strategic decision-making, and operational performance improvement across various industries. Most recently, I have been leading the financial strategy and management support functions at Smartflats, a fast-growing player in the real estate and hospitality sector. In this role, I have contributed to profitability optimization, cash flow structuring, and decision-support for management, working closely with internal teams and external regulated partners where required. My approach is strongly data-driven, with a focus on providing clear insights that enable leadership teams to make informed business decisions, improve operational efficiency, and align financial strategy with overall business objectives, within applicable regulatory frameworks. Over the years, I have been recognized for my ability to bridge finance and operations, foster cross-functional collaboration, streamline complex organizational processes, and support management in periods of transformation and growth. Transparency, trust, and pragmatic execution are core elements of my leadership style. Key achievements include: • Supporting the management of a €60K financial provision in the context of a company restructuring project. • Leading the redesign of billing and invoicing processes, improving efficiency and internal coordination. • Collaborating with international teams on revenue growth initiatives and the implementation of robust internal governance and control frameworks, resulting in a 15% improvement in operational efficiency over two years. I thrive in dynamic environments where financial insight plays a central role in strategic direction. I am currently seeking a new opportunity in financial leadership or CFO advisory roles, where I can contribute to sustainable growth, sound decision-making, and value creation. If you believe there may be a fit between your organization’s needs and my experience, I would be glad to connect and explore how we could work together.
