About Me

I've spent over 20 years in finance, starting as a junior analyst and working my way up to CFO roles in mid-sized companies. My passion lies in helping businesses grow by balancing solid financial stewardship with strategic thinking. I've seen firsthand how the CFO role has shifted from just managing numbers to becoming a key driver of business expansion, and that's what I love teaching. In my courses, I draw from real cases I've handled, like restructuring budgets to fund new initiatives or navigating complex mergers. Students get practical tools and frameworks they can apply immediately, moving from compliance-focused mindsets to becoming growth architects in their organizations.
