Description

Finance leader with 10+ years of experience helping startups and scale-ups build strong financial foundations. I’ve worked across international environments (France, Netherlands, UK, Germany, Spain, Nordics), managing everything from accounting and audits to cash flow forecasting, budgeting, and investor reporting.

I enjoy jumping into fast-moving companies to structure finance operations, implement tools, and create clear, reliable reporting that leadership teams can actually use to make decisions.
