About

I bring finance professional’s business acumen, an engineer’s problem-solving mindset and a professor's ability to simplify complexity. Over the last 6+ years, I have built my career across renewable energy and global financial services, working at the intersection of FP&A, project finance, treasury, capital budgeting, management reporting, and finance operations. I enjoy turning complex financial and operational challenges into structured, practical solutions that improve visibility, strengthen controls, and support better decision-making. In my current role, I lead finance activities for a large renewable energy portfolio while managing a team of 7 members and partnering closely with leadership, lenders, auditors, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders. My work spans budgeting, forecasting, cash flow planning, debt management, process improvement, and source-to-pay operations. What energizes me most is not just working with numbers, but using them to create clarity, drive action, and build confidence in business decisions. What sets me apart is the balance I bring between technical depth and people skills. I stay calm under pressure and I am known for communicating clearly, solving problems collaboratively, and bringing structure to ambiguity. I value accountability, continuous learning, and teamwork, and I genuinely enjoy mentoring others, improving processes, and building strong working relationships across functions. My journey from chemical engineering to finance, along with my early experience in teaching and mentoring, has shaped me into a well-rounded professional who combines analytical thinking with adaptability, resilience, and a human-centered leadership style. My core strengths include FP&A, project finance, treasury, financial modeling, budgeting & forecasting, cash flow planning, management reporting, process automation, stakeholder management, and team leadership.
