Introduction

Finance executive with over 28 years of experience leading transformation, compliance, and strategic growth across pharmaceutical, logistics, and industrial sectors. I specialize in building scalable financial infrastructures, implementing ERP systems, and driving operational excellence in complex, regulated environments. I recently served as Associate Director of Accounting, Tax & Control for Northwest Africa, I’ve led the founding of Organon Algeria and Morocco, deployed SAP S/4HANA, and improved audit ratings while reducing DSO from 20% to 2%. My leadership has consistently delivered enhanced liquidity, optimized cost structures, and strengthened stakeholder confidence. Core strengths include: - Leadership & Mentoring: Building high-performing teams and ensuring continuity through succession planning. - Financial Transformation: Leading ERP implementations and digitization initiatives that improve reporting and agility. - Compliance & Control: Deep expertise in GAAP, audit preparation, tax compliance, and regulatory frameworks. - Strategic Oversight: Managing $70M+ in annual closings, budget planning, and cash flow optimization. Fluent in English, French, and Arabic, I thrive in multicultural environments and have participated in financial seminars across Lebanon, Morocco, Turkey, Prague, and Dubai. My experience spans legal entity creation, treasury management, payroll operations for 100+ employees, and cross-functional collaboration. I’m passionate about aligning finance with business strategy to deliver measurable impact and long-term value.
