Group Chief Financial Officer at Cognism
Chief Financial Officer with 20 years of experience driving global companies to achieve profitable growth in the media, technology, and education industries. With experience in both multinational and small organizations, including private equity and venture-backed, I am passionate about developing scalable financial and operational frameworks to help organizations create sustainability. From redesigning organizational structures to renegotiating multi-million dollar contracts, I am a proven leader with a track record of consistently driving bottom-line results. My subject matter expertise includes financial planning & analysis, mergers & acquisitions, investor relations, human capital management, and board oversight. My career successes range from rebuilding finance teams and raising >400M of capital to revitalizing the Latin American business for McGraw Hill after ten years of decline to managing the $4B Penguin / Random House M&A integration from the Penguin side. Building on my MBA degree combined with my practical leadership experience, I am a natural problem solver drawn towards creating operational efficiencies to maximize ROI. Fun fact: I have a mini dachshund named George who has a lot of personality and often shows up on zoom calls!
