Ex Deloitte, Citigroup, Actis, IQEQ. Experienced in Service Delivery, Operations

The key skills that have contributed to my success are leadership, strategic thinking, problem-solving, and financial expertise. Over the years, I have developed these through hands-on experience, working with multi-country clients, leading high-performance teams, and driving operational excellence. My ability to navigate complex financial structures, implement automation, and improve reporting systems has been refined through continuous learning and adapting to industry trends. Additionally, my international exposure has strengthened my cross-cultural communication and stakeholder management skills.Tough times have been inevitable in my career, whether during major transitions, the COVID-19 crisis, or high-pressure financial negotiations. I approach challenges with a structured and business-focused mindset, relying on data-driven decision-making, effective teamwork, and proactive risk management. The most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that adaptability and resilience are key to overcoming obstacles. Keeping a calm and solution-oriented approach while ensuring transparent communication with teams and stakeholders has helped me navigate difficult situations successfully.Throughout my career, I have driven transformation in financial operations, creating streamlined, automated processes that enhance efficiency and accuracy. I have mentored teams, set up new global teams, and led major onboarding projects, ensuring better opportunities and career growth for my colleagues. In the larger community, my leadership in financial management and process improvements has contributed to sustainable business growth, helping organizations achieve operational excellence and cost savings. I take pride in building high-performing teams and fostering an environment of learning and growth.One of the key milestones in my journey was leading the transition of processes from Paris and setting up a 15-member global team to manage investor reporting. This required strategic planning, cross-border coordination, and ensuring seamless service delivery. Another significant milestone was successfully onboarding European and Asian clients with a combined AUM of $3 billion. These experiences validated my ability to drive large-scale financial transformation and affirmed my role as a leader in the industry.For me, success is the ability to create a lasting impact—whether in business, leadership, or personal growth. It’s not just about financial achievements but also about fostering innovation, mentoring teams, and driving meaningful change. Moving forward, my goal is to continue expanding my expertise in private equity fund administration and financial strategy, contribute to technological advancements in financial reporting, and take on larger leadership roles that allow me to influence industry best practices globally.
