WORK HISTORY
Chief Financial Officer @Char Technologies Ltd
Toronto, ON, CA
TSXV:YES) At CHAR, I’ve been leading the finance function through a period of major transformation. I managed two private placements and a working-capital facility, strengthening liquidity while embedding 13-week cash forecasting and compliance dashboards. I directed the divestiture of a consulting division from Board approval through due diligence and close, ensuring client continuity and knowledge transfer. To finance CHAR’s flagship multimillion biocarbon project, I structured a joint venture and SPV framework, negotiating governance agreements. Alongside capital structuring, I authored IFRS memos on complex issues such as consolidation, impairment, and discontinued operations, securing auditor sign-offs under tight deadlines. I also introduced ERP and EOS to bring execution discipline across finance, procurement, and operations
