Where Scientific Precision Meets Financial Expertise

With a quarter century of experience as a Financial Controller, I bring a unique perspective shaped by both scientific training and deep financial acumen. My career has been defined by meticulous attention to detail, unwavering integrity, and a commitment to delivering clarity in complex financial landscapes.

My scientific background instilled in me a methodical approach to problem-solving — the ability to analyse data rigorously, question assumptions, and arrive at evidence-based conclusions. These principles have been the foundation of my financial career, enabling me to provide robust financial control and strategic guidance.

Based in London, I have spent over 14 years at Paperhat Group, where I developed comprehensive expertise across all aspects of financial management, from day-to-day operations to strategic planning and compliance.

Grounded in Values

My professional life is guided by the same principles that shape my personal one: integrity, precision, and dedication. I believe that strong financial management is built on trust — trust that comes from consistent accuracy, transparent communication, and an unwavering commitment to doing what's right.

Family is at the heart of everything I do. The discipline, responsibility, and care I bring to my personal commitments are the same qualities I bring to every professional engagement.
