Executive Profile
Build Structure First, Then Scale
M&A at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods in London, corporate strategy at MLP, Managing Director and CFO at Klarsolar. From investment banking through corporate to hypergrowth startup.
At Klarsolar, I built the finance organisation from the ground up, scaled the team from 30 to 150 people and led the exit to E.ON. I bring this experience today as a Fractional CFO and Scale-Up Coach to growth companies.
