CFO, Chief Risk & Compliance Officer | Risk, Compliance & Governance | Infrastructure, PPP & Energy

About Me

Senior executive with 20+ years of international experience across infrastructure, construction, and energy sectors, combining leadership roles in corporate finance, risk management, and regulatory compliance. I have held CFO and Chief Risk Officer positions, with responsibility for financial strategy, enterprise risk management, and the design and implementation of group-wide risk & compliance frameworks. My experience includes establishing and strengthening compliance programs covering anti-bribery and corruption, AML/CTF, third-party risk management and due diligence, conflicts of interest, and whistleblowing systems, aligned with international best practices. I have led complex risk and compliance transformations across multiple jurisdictions, embedding governance, internal controls, and ethical standards into business operations and decision-making. My work spans the full project lifecycle, including investment appraisal, bid/no-bid decisions, project risk analysis, execution oversight, and post-investment governance, particularly in large-scale infrastructure and PPP environments.
