I help DTC and Amazon brands doing $3M–$25M in revenue turn marketing spend into profit and build the financial infrastructure to scale without surprises. Recent result: Led the turnaround of a DTC health and wellness brand from -$2.5M EBIT to a cash-positive run rate, contributing to a 25% CAC reduction through marketing mix modeling and channel-level spend reallocation. Three-year embedded CFO engagement, still ongoing. What I do: 1. Growth & marketing finance. Channel-level unit economics, blended LTV/CAC ceilings, marketing mix modeling, Amazon vs DTC spend optimization, retention cohorts. I sit between you and your media buyers and make sure every dollar can be defended on the P&L. 2. Ecom-native FP&A. 13-week cash forecasting tied to inventory cycles and ad spend, scenario modeling for launches and peak season, KPI dashboards your team will actually look at, and clean monthly close. 3. Multi-brand and cross-border. Built a modular financial model spanning 10 brands for a dropshipping operator. Comfortable across SKU-level margins, multi-currency, and cross-border operations (US, EU, GCC). 4. Investor readiness when you need it. Board-ready materials, valuation analysis, deal structuring. I've sat on the fundraising side of 120+ early-stage companies through direct work and agency partnerships (TribeFirst due diligence, Bitcoin Startup Lab pitch coaching), so I know exactly what investors will dig into when they see your numbers. 5. AI-native by design. I build Claude-based agents for transaction categorization, anomaly flagging, and forecast updates. You get senior CFO judgment plus automation, not a junior modeler at a higher rate. Background: MBA from IESE Business School, engineering by training, finance operator by choice. I've run finance for brands selling on Amazon and own-channel DTC, so I understand the unit economics tradeoffs between the two and how to allocate spend between them. If your finance function isn't giving you a clear answer to "is this growth profitable and can we afford it," let's talk. Happy to do a 30-minute call to look at your numbers and tell you where I'd start.

𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁 & 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 trained at PwC Academy Middle East, with experience preparing materials for capital raises, strategic transactions, and board-level decisions. If you're raising capital, pursuing an acquisition, or presenting to investors, your materials need to do more than inform - they need to convince. I help founders and executives communicate with clarity and credibility when the stakes are high. I've supported deal communications for sovereign wealth funds (Saudi PIF), institutional asset managers (BNP Paribas, Nordea), government entities (Dubai Economy & Tourism), and growth-stage startups across the US and Europe.

Most clients come to me at a specific moment: they have a meeting coming up, a deadline approaching, and materials that don't yet match the opportunity in front of them. Here's what I've learned after working on 100+ deals: investors and lenders aren't just evaluating your numbers. They're evaluating whether you understand your own business. The model, the deck, the business plan - these are proxies for your judgment. If the materials feel rough or the logic doesn't hold, confidence erodes before you've said a word. I help close that gap. I take the complexity in your head and turn it into clear, structured materials that build trust on the other side of the table. Whether it's a $2M seed round or a $20M debt facility, the standard is the same: institutional quality, defensible assumptions, and a narrative that earns conviction. My background spans institutional finance and government consulting. I left to focus on what I do best - building the financial models and investor materials that get deals across the line.

+17 years across boardrooms, balance sheets, and broken spreadsheets — I have seen what kills businesses financially and what actually grows them. I have sat in the CFO chair across manufacturing, healthcare, retail, technology, NGOs, and impact-driven organizations. The problems are always different. The financial discipline required to fix them is always the same. I work with startups, SMEs, NGOs, and business owners who need more than a number-cruncher. They need a strategic financial partner who can build investor-ready financial models that survive due diligence, design AI-powered KPI dashboards that replace manual reports, structure fundraising strategies that land capital, and deliver ESG and SDG reporting frameworks that satisfy regulators, boards, and impact investors. That is what I do. And I have done it for over two decades across every kind of industry. ——— WHAT I DELIVER ——— FINANCIAL MODELING & BUSINESS VALUATION I build 3-statement models, DCF analysis, scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, LBO models, cap table modeling, and startup financial projections that founders, CFOs, and investors trust. Whether you are a pre-revenue startup validating your business model or a $50M company preparing for an acquisition — the model I build tells the real story and holds up under scrutiny. I have built models that have directly supported funding rounds, M&A transactions, and strategic decisions at board level. INVESTOR PITCH DECKS & BUSINESS PLANS A pitch deck is not a design exercise. It is a financial argument with slides. I structure pitch decks and business plans around the questions investors actually ask — unit economics, market sizing, revenue assumptions, burn rate, and exit pathways. Clients have used my materials to raise capital from venture capitalists, private equity firms, development finance institutions, and banks across multiple industries. I write the narrative, model the numbers, and make sure both tell the same story. AI AUTOMATION & KPI DASHBOARD DESIGN I design and implement AI-powered financial dashboards and process automation workflows tailored to each industry. Using Power BI, Tableau, and AI integrations, I replace spreadsheet chaos with real-time visibility into the KPIs that drive decisions. Finance teams stop chasing data and start using it. I have deployed dashboards across healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and technology — cutting reporting time significantly and giving leadership the financial visibility they have been missing. FUNDRAISING CONSULTANCY & CAPITAL RAISING STRATEGY I have supported fundraising across equity, debt, grant funding, impact capital, and blended finance structures. From building the data room to coaching leadership through investor conversations, I manage the full capital raising process — not just the documents. I understand what development finance institutions, impact investors, and institutional lenders need to see, and I structure every engagement accordingly. ESG, SDG & SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING FRAMEWORKS As ESG reporting becomes mandatory across most markets, organizations need someone who understands both the financial and impact dimensions. I build ESG and SDG KPI frameworks, sustainability reporting aligned to GRI, TCFD, and CSRD standards, impact measurement systems, and non-financial disclosures that meet regulatory expectations and attract impact-driven capital. FINANCIAL PLANNING & ANALYSIS (FP&A) I run end-to-end FP&A engagements covering budgeting, rolling forecasts, cash flow management, variance analysis, cost reduction strategy, and board-level financial reporting. I help leadership teams move from gut-feel decisions to data-backed ones — with clear visibility into what the numbers are saying and what to do about it. STRATEGIC CFO ADVISORY Beyond the deliverables, I act as a thinking partner to founders, CEOs, and boards on decisions that shape financial outcomes. Pricing strategy. Capital structure. M&A readiness. Market entry economics. Risk management. I bring 20+ years of cross-industry CFO experience to every conversation — boardroom credibility without the full-time price tag. ——— WHO I WORK BEST WITH ——— Startups preparing for their first or next raise. SMEs scaling past the spreadsheet phase. NGOs building impact frameworks for donors and DFIs. Business owners whose numbers are not telling the right story to investors, lenders, or their own board.
