About Irene da Silva

Most companies don’t have a finance problem.They have a financial infrastructure problem.What does it take to build a finance function leaders rely on — not just reference?Throughout my career, I’ve led finance in scaling environments where infrastructure must evolve alongside growth.Across a $3B national healthcare platform and a $220M multi-region mobility company, my focus has remained consistent: strengthen governance, restore forecasting credibility, and position finance as a driver of disciplined growth and stronger lender and investor confidence.When financial infrastructure lags behind scale, the consequences are real.Decisions slow.Capital conversations weaken.Margins compress quietly.Leadership begins questioning the numbers.This rarely happens because teams lack talent. It happens because infrastructure hasn’t scaled with the business.I build that infrastructure.As a VP of Finance and strategic leader, I partner with CEOs, executive teams, boards, investors, and operators to strengthen planning discipline, improve cash visibility and liquidity management, enhance enterprise reporting, establish KPI governance, and align finance closely with the business.Much of this work involves partnering closely with operating and revenue leaders to align financial planning with growth strategy and performance metrics.My experience includes:• Supporting a $250M refinancing and $300M equity raise• Leading diligence and integration tied to $800M in acquisitions• Strengthening cash visibility across multi-entity platforms• Modernizing planning systems to improve forecast accuracy and execution disciplineI’m drawn to growth-oriented, performance-driven organizations where finance must be both strategic and operational.Finance systems experience includes enterprise planning platforms such as Adaptive Insights and Hyperion Financial Planning, along with BI/reporting tools including MicroStrategy and Tableau.If you’re scaling and need a finance leader who can align finance with strategy, strengthen capital credibility, and build performance-driven financial infrastructure while remaining close to the business, I welcome the conversation.
