Hello. I am CFO with 20+ years of turning finance into a growth engine. Ranked among the TOP 3 CFOs in Ukraine (2022, 2023) and Member of the Expert Council at the CFO Forum. I’ve worked across multiple industries – from global tech companies to large industrial groups – helping leaders make better decisions through clear, actionable financial insight. I make complex financial topics understandable, translating numbers, forecasts, and strategies into insights that resonate with a broad audience. My experience allows me to offer an inside view of how business decisions are actually made – from managing risk and investment to leading organizations through uncertainty and transformation. My perspective connects finance with leadership, ethics, and real-world impact. For me, finance stoped being only reporting the right numbers and cutting costs. It is about shaping what comes next – responsibly, transparently, and with long-term value in mind.

I'm the founder and Editor-in-Chief of ExpertReviewHQ, where I synthesize the findings of more than 250 professional review outlets — Wirecutter, Consumer Reports, Good Housekeeping, and others — into consensus buying guidance across 100+ product categories. Rather than re-testing products myself, I map where the expert testers agree, where they diverge, and what that disagreement means for an individual buyer. I bring 20 years in enterprise portfolio management (PMP, BRMP) to the site's editorial methodology. I can speak to where the reviews align or conflict in almost any consumer category, what buyers consistently overlook, and how to read product reviews critically.

My leadership philosophy is hinged on accountability, transparency, and foresight. I believe the very best leaders create systems that let others move with confidence. Whether it be modernizing FP&A platforms, optimizing treasury and controllership functions, or leading M&A integrations, my approach to any business challenge will combine analytical precision with human understanding. A certified CPA and CFE, trained in PMP and Six Sigma, I bring both rigor and empathy into leadership. For me, true financial leadership is about the design of operating models that allow others to perform at their best In every engagement, I try to redefine what finance can mean for a business, operating with a strategic compass guiding every decision, measuring progress toward goals, and driving growth. When finance serves as a source of direction and stability, organizations move more quickly, teams align more effectively, and transformation becomes both achievable and sustainable.

I am a personal finance researcher and founder of The Money Decoded, a plain-English finance education site based in India. I research budgeting, saving, debt, investing basics, and financial literacy — and explain these topics clearly for people who were never taught how money works. My perspective is not academic. It comes from lived experience. In 2011, our family's publication business collapsed overnight. We mortgaged our home to start a new business. That failed too. The bank began proceedings to auction our house. It took a decade of effort — my savings from working as a Project Manager at InfluxIQ Tech Pvt. Ltd., my brother's contribution, and help from friends and relatives — to finally recover the house from auction in 2021. That experience taught me what financial planning means when the stakes are real. Since then I have researched personal finance thoroughly, backing every article with sources from the Reserve Bank of India, the Federal Reserve, CFPB, IRS, and peer-reviewed research. At The Money Decoded I have published 60+ research-led articles covering financial literacy, budgeting, saving, debt, credit, and investing — plus free calculators for compound interest, loan EMI, inflation, savings goals, emergency funds, and net worth. My expertise covers: — How financial hardship unfolds for middle-class Indian families — Plain-English finance for complete beginners — Budgeting and saving on tight or irregular incomes — Psychological and practical barriers to financial resilience — The Indian financial system — RBI policy, CIBIL scores, PPF, SSY, fixed deposits I am available as a source for stories on personal finance, financial resilience, money mistakes, budgeting for beginners, debt management, financial literacy gaps, and personal finance in India.

I'm a specialist commercial finance broker with 16 years of experience helping Australian business owners access commercial property finance. As founder of Smart Business Plans, I've overseen $550 million in commercial finance across more than 3,300 clients, with a 92% approval rate working across a panel of 60+ specialist lenders. My expertise sits at the intersection of commercial property, business finance, and wealth strategy — particularly for small to medium business owners looking to buy their own premises, invest through their SMSF, or fund development projects. I work exclusively in the commercial space, which means I specialise where the major banks often can't or won't go. I'm also the author of The Premise Effect (2026), which makes the case for why Australian business owners are leaving millions on the table by renting rather than owning their business premises. I'm available to comment on: commercial property finance, SMSF borrowing, business lending, commercial mortgage rates, Australian property market trends, and small business wealth building.
