Finance, M&A and Succession
With my experience in strategic leadership and business transformation across industries like energy, automotive, professional services and insurance, I had the privilege of guiding leaders through some of their most pivotal transitions. I have seen first-hand how the right management team and a clear strategy can make or break the future of a company.
My expertise stems from a consistent emphasis on strategic leadership and business transformation, underpinned by strong financial management capabilities.
