• Proven track record in project-business cash management , financial steering, and performance improvement.
• Significant exposure to private equity , including value creation and exit preparation.
• Competence across business & financial control, FP&A, treasury, M&A, tax, and corporate finance.
• Experience in BI / reporting systems, data analytics, and building scalable finance infrastructures.
• Strong understanding of IFRS and the demands of international financial governance. Experience in post-merger integration and turnaround situations is a major advantage.
