My international career spans decades of executive finance leadership and governance in multinational financial institutions. I’ve consistently been sought after by troubled entities and delivered turnarounds and sustainable growth, prevailing over an array of challenges as an influencer in stabilizing and revitalizing fiscal vitality. I’ve also been a professor for over 20 years, teaching corporate finance in universities in 3 countries.
In the governance space, I’ve served on 8 corporate boards and 11 committees, partnering with fellow members on strategic planning and critical decisions. My unwavering commitment and collaboration in helping guide corporate journeys has been pivotal in supporting each organization’s success.
I’m open to board opportunities and ready to help guide corporations to stronger financial performance, oversight, and executive control.
