Director Finance | Restructuring | Treasury | Cash = King | Business Partner | M&A | Latin America | Interim | Control | EACTP | WHOA
A highly driven and results‑oriented finance leader with a proven “make‑it‑happen” mindset, active across Europe and Latin America. I combine strong operational, financial and interpersonal capabilities to deliver measurable impact for companies in the Food, Construction, Oil & Gas, Retail and Agri sectors. As a Finance Director, I quickly analyse complex situations, define a new strategic direction and ensure its successful implementation.
I have repeatedly stabilised and repositioned businesses facing negative cash flow or low (even negative) EBITDA by making fact‑based, sometimes difficult decisions that protect and balance the interests of all key stakeholders—customers, suppliers, banks, shareholders and employees.
Since 2005, I have served as Interim Finance Director or Restructuring Director for private‑equity backed organisations including Gilde Healthcare, 3i and Atlas Holdings LLC, as well as corporates such as Greenyard/Hartman, Score/Chasin’, Alpro (SoFine), Leaf (Cloetta), Dutch Railways and Solfruit. After a decade in controlling roles in permanent employment, I expanded my career into interim leadership, non‑executive board positions and entrepreneurship.
