About me
Intro
For over a decade I've worked across fintech, e-commerce, FMCG, fashion and QSR, usually stepping in where growth has outpaced finance and the function still has to be built, most recently leading a performance function through a leadership transition. I make numbers drive decisions rather than reporting. I build the models, forecasts and unit economics that show teams where they actually make money, then I build the people and the habits around them. Hands-on, close to the business.
Work experience
Head of FP&A and Business Performance | Commercial Finance Business Partner | Interim & Transition Management
Freelance | Self-EmployedFreelance
Sep 2025 - Present
1 year 2 months
Paris, France
I own the performance seat: commercial P&L, margin, trade and revenue steering, budgeting, forecasting and executive reporting; and partner with commercial, marketing and leadership teams to turn numbers into pricing, margin and growth decisions. Relationships and influence, not just reporting. I work across fintech, e-commerce, FMCG, fashion and QSR, from early-stage ventures to international groups in transformation, on multi-country scope. Mandates typically involve stepping into finance or performance leadership during change, scale or restructuring, building or rebuilding the function, and handing it over running. Investor-grade modelling and valuation for fundraising where it's needed. Modelling, forecasting and reporting are AI-assisted by default. Recent work includes: Interim Head of Business Performance for an International QSR brand, franchised network Took the performance seat during a leadership transition: data governance behind network sales reporting, forecast architecture, and a marketing organisation moved onto certified self-serve data. Led the performance function, with handover built in from day one. Chief of Staff for early-stage DTC ventures Right hand to the founders of two consumer brands. Commercial and financial build: unit economics, pricing, forecasting, fundraising materials, plus the weekly operating cadence that turns founder ambition into what the numbers allow. Based in Paris, mandates anywhere.
