With a CPA, CA designation and a strong background in team development and corporate finance, I oversee the financial performance, strategic direction, and growth opportunities of the company, which has been in operation since 1938.Prior to joining Akhurst Machinery in March 2023, I was the CFO of OK Tire Real Estate Trust and OK Tire Canada, where I managed the financial affairs and financings of the largest network of independent tire dealers in Canada. During my tenure, I implemented business process improvements, financial reporting systems, and risk management policies, enhancing the efficiency and transparency of the operations. I have over 23 years of experience in private companies, and I am passionate about building strong teams, fostering a culture of excellence, and delivering value to the stakeholders.
