What I offer

Scaling-Up?

Commercial demands are piling up—first customer requests are coming in, project pipeline is filled, planning, administrative tasks, system selection, investor management yet struggling with data?
What you need is a trusted and proactive strategic and hands-on finance partner by your side—someone who brings structure, clarity, and momentum based on data-driven prioritization with a proactive forward looking mindset?

I help founders stay focused by taking the strategic finance lead—bridging strategy and execution to move forward based on data-driven insights.

Complexity is rising? Margins are under pressure?

Uncertainty demands streamlined processes, resilient supply chains, and tighter cost control?
Processes are unclear, data fragmented, margin discipline scattered, and planning inaccurate? Finance, Commercial, and Operations are misaligned? On-top, ERP transformation or integration from M&A is time-consuming taking longer than expected?

I support CFOs in boosting margin and execution speed by aligning Commercial, Operations and Finance—delivering margin discipline, accurate planning, process excellence, and successful digital transformation.

Growth is stagnating or declining?


Struggling to differentiate in an increasingly competitive market?
Unsure which segments to grow, which to exit?
Pricing not delivering the value it should?

I help CEOs cut through complexity—unlocking growth, optimizing pricing, and aligning teams for fast execution.
