Bio

An entrepreneurial finance and operations (finops) executive who can help with anything related to that. I have driven a digital marketing agency to grow and pay off its $555k debt via cashflow optimisation, pricing strategies and shift to a new operational model. From $90k loss MoM to over $60k profit MoM. I helped various marketing agencies to grow over 70% on top line and over 200% the bottom line by guiding them navigate finops towards aggressive and sustainable business growth. I've provided critical finops support to digital marketing agencies, adapting strategies to maintain competitiveness. I've played a pivotal role in globally transforming resourcing models, setting targets, and reshaping finops departments to align with future company goals. I also helped various businesses to build their finance department in-house from scratch. By setting up their reports from FP&A to variance analysis and P&L to cashflow, establish their first business KPIs and set up their financial strategy and investment modelling. I truly believe in "Every day is another opportunity to grow," so let's connect and grow together!
