Finance leadership for founders who need
a CFO, not a consultant.
I work with founder-led, R&D-intensive and internationally structured businesses — providing hands-on financial execution and board-level strategic judgement across fundraising, restructuring, cross-border structures, and non-dilutive funding.

Add your first testimonial here — ideally one that references a specific outcome or context.
Add your second testimonial here. Testimonials referencing non-dilutive funding, restructuring results, or the exit transaction carry the most weight.
Following a decade as CFO and co-founder of Amiko — a regulated MedTech business with a UK/Italian group structure — I now focus on fractional CFO and strategic finance advisory mandates for founder-led and growth-stage businesses.
I work across fundraising, financial restructuring, non-dilutive funding, and cross-border structures. My background combines hands-on financial execution with board-level governance across Europe, Southeast Asia and the US.
I bring a methodical, data-driven approach to complex financial decisions — including AI-assisted modelling, game-theoretical negotiation analysis and scenario frameworks — and I work selectively with clients and situations I can genuinely move forward.
I work with a small number of clients at a time. If you're building something ambitious and need serious finance leadership, I'd like to hear from you.
