With over two decades of experience as a CFO in international companies, I've managed everything from finance and manufacturing to legal, HR, and IT. My passion? Mergers and acquisitions. I've been through the trenches and am here to share my knowledge with you.
My journey has been anything but conventional. Originally from Austria, I made the leap to North America years ago, bringing with me a unique blend of European and North American business perspectives. I hold a Ph.D. in Communications, an MBA, and a Master of Science in Accounting. I'm also a proud recipient of the Elijah Watt Sells Award for the CPA exam and have completed executive education at Wharton. Oh, and did I mention I speak five languages?
