Executive Finance Portfolio · MENA & GCC · 2026
Strategic Finance Business Partner · Finance Transformation Leader
Senior finance professional with 8+ years driving financial performance, ERP modernization, FP&A leadership, and AI-enabled finance operations across multi-site manufacturing, international trading, and healthcare in Egypt and the UAE. Proven architect of finance transformation programs delivering 17% OPEX reduction, 25% cash flow forecasting precision uplift, 30% data integrity gain, and zero-finding audit outcomes across multiple fiscal years and jurisdictions.
A boardroom-ready finance executive bridging technical accounting rigor with digital transformation leadership across two regulatory regimes — UAE and Egypt — and the four highest-demand finance hiring lanes in MENA 2025–2026.
Five reinforcing identities that together form a single boardroom-ready finance executive — not an accountant scaling up, but a transformation leader operating at finance-controller cadence today.
Six competency clusters mapped to proficiency anchors — every line backed by a quantified achievement elsewhere in this portfolio.

Disconnected manual workflows across AP/AR/GL/inventory · 3-currency complexity (AED/EGP/USD) · 25%+ data error rate · 2-day reconciliation backlog · cross-jurisdiction audit exposure (UAE FTA + Egyptian Tax Authority).
Process mining surfaced 11 redundant manual touch-points · 40% of journal entries required correction within 7 days · multi-currency conversions performed in spreadsheets, creating reconciliation noise and audit findings risk.
Phased Odoo ERP automation: (i) Chart of accounts redesign aligned to IFRS + UAE FTA · (ii) Multi-currency engine activation · (iii) Automated bank feed reconciliation · (iv) AP 3-tier approval workflow · (v) End-user training program.
Months 1–2: COA & multi-currency · Months 3–4: AP/AR automation · Months 5–6: Bank reconciliation · Month 7: Training + go-live · Month 8+: Hyper-care & continuous improvement.
Data accuracy: +25 pp · Manual processing time: −30% · AP cycle: −20% · Audit findings: 0 · VAT/CT violations: 0 across 2 fiscal years · ~15 hrs/wk capacity recovered.
Eliminated penalty-risk exposure · enabled the 17% OPEX reduction through visibility · positioned the finance function as a strategic business partner · clean audit opinions every cycle.
MD relied on monthly PDFs delivered T+15 · zero live profitability or cash visibility · cash flow forecast accuracy ~75% · finance function operating reactively, not predictively · no SKU-level decision support.
Data audit revealed Odoo GL contained the answers but lacked a presentation layer · KPIs were calculated manually in Excel each month · MD's decision cadence lagged the financial reality by 15+ days.

MD now leads weekly financial reviews from a live dashboard · proactive working capital interventions · reduced reliance on emergency funding · finance promoted from cost-center to decision-engine.
Three engagements where direct financial-performance levers — OPEX, working capital, and collections — produced measurable, defensible business impact.
OPEX growing faster than revenue · operating margin under compression · zero category-level visibility into cost drivers · vendor concentration risk in 2 high-spend categories.
Granular variance and category review identified 4 expense families with structural inefficiency · vendor count fragmented · no PO-matching controls · early-payment discounts left on table.
Re-tendered top-spend categories · consolidated vendors · introduced PO-matching controls in Odoo · early-payment discount protocol · monthly cost-review cadence with operations leadership.
Q1: Vendor mapping & spend baseline · Q2: Re-tender + consolidation · Q3: Control deployment in Odoo · Q4: Cadence rollout + early-payment discount activation.
OPEX: −17% with no service-quality degradation · Vendor count: −35% · PO-matching coverage: 100% · AP cycle: −20%.
Operating margin and EBITDA contribution lifted directly · stronger vendor terms · predictable cash outflows · finance positioned as commercial-leverage partner.
Cash flow forecasting accuracy ~75% · frequent reliance on emergency credit facilities · CCC elevated · reconciliation backlog across banking, AR, and AP sub-ledgers.
Reconciliation gap analysis · sub-ledger ↔ GL mismatch traced to four root causes · cash conversion cycle decomposition revealed DSO drift in two customer segments.
Re-engineered multi-step reconciliation workflows · 13-week rolling cash forecast model · automated bank feed integration · weekly cash council with operations and sales.
Month 1: Process redesign · Month 2: Forecast model build · Month 3: Bank feed integration · Month 4+: Weekly cash council cadence.
Forecast accuracy: 75% → 100% (+25 pp) · CCC: −11 days YoY · Emergency credit drawdowns: eliminated · WC unlocked: ~EGP 8.2M (illustrative).
Funded inventory build for peak season from operating cash · improved supplier negotiating position · MD office gained predictive cash visibility for the first time.
Collection rate from 15+ insurance providers dragging cash position · DSO elevated · ad-hoc follow-up · claim rejection rate high due to documentation gaps.
AR aging analysis revealed concentration in 90+ day bucket · zero systematic follow-up cadence · documentation pack lacked standardization across insurers.
Designed 3-tier follow-up protocol (T+30 / T+60 / T+90 escalation) · standardized claim documentation pack · weekly insurance-by-insurance dashboard · escalation pathway to legal.
Month 1: Protocol design · Month 2: Documentation standard rollout · Month 3: Dashboard + cadence · ongoing: weekly review.
Collection rate: +18% · DSO: meaningful compression · 90+ AR bucket: declined steadily · claim rejection rate: reduced.
Cash position improved · reduced reliance on credit · improved provider relationships · finance function recognized as a strategic enabler of clinical operations.
