My focus lies in formulating expansion plans, effective performance management, identifying growth opportunities and using business partnership and outsourcing models to control costs and debottleneck volumes. My passion lies in partnering businesses to grow fast and profitably; at the same time never taking the eye off controls and compliances I truly believe that today\'s finance head is a strong partner to the CEO and needs to think and act beyond just numbers.Fostering a high-performance culture is a key focus of mine, and I am deeply committed to acquiring, managing, training, and nurturing exceptional individuals for a high-performing finance organization that delivers dynamic results.
