About

Chartered Accountant. Number-whisperer. Story-teller. Being these things has made me build a forte in Business Finance. At work, I spend my time forecasting, doing pricing and profitability analysis, automating finance processes, turning raw numbers and dashboards into practical insights. Oh, did I mention I love Taylor Swift? Her music and diet coke keep me sane when I'm at work. When I'm not, I go food-hunting, play basketball, or simply cook. Being a generalist at heart, I have tried CEO's office, Program Management, Biz-Dev, and Marketing. I love to not confine myself to functions and job descriptions, and always go above and beyond of what the ask is. Or in the words of the legendary Miss Britney Spears, "gimme, gimme (more), gimme (more), gimme, gimme (more)".
