The People Behind CMD
She has led finance functions for more than 20 years, across more than ten countries, in companies that range from multinationals to fast-growing technology start-ups. She is often the person brought in when a finance function has fallen behind: audits that are overdue, balance sheets that no longer reconcile, a new system going live, or an acquisition on the way.
She works at VP level across the whole finance stack: accounting, tax, audit, budgeting, hedging, finance operation, and due diligence. She has built and led teams of up to 100 people and has reported directly to CFOs, presidents, and CEOs.
What she is known for
- Clearing backlogs. Issuing audit reports that were years overdue, and getting the finance function back on time.
- Rebuilding the foundations. Reconstructing historical balance sheet reconciliations so a business could hand over cleanly to its auditors and to an acquirer.
- Multi-entity finance. Running consolidation and statutory reporting for more than ten entities across Southeast Asia and beyond.
- Systems and process. Leading finance through ERP go-lives, including SAP and Oracle, and through group-wide reporting standardisation.
- Tax and transfer pricing from the inside. Handling tax compliance, setting up transfer pricing models, and seeing a tax audit through from the company side.
- Deals. Supporting due diligence and the transition after an acquisition.

How she works with clients
Hands-on and numbers first. She reads the data before asking questions, explains what she finds in plain language, and puts every proposed adjustment in front of the client with its evidence.
She loves breaking the numbers and systems into details to be able to know and explain the root cause.
