23 years as Group CFO and Managing Director.
I've been on both sides of the GBS–C-suite breakdown.
I know exactly why it happens. And I know how to fix it fast.
Sometimes it's strategy. Sometimes it's process. Sometimes it's leadership. Sometimes it's all three.
The mistake isn't the problem. The mistake is bringing in someone who applies the same framework regardless — and leaves before finding out if it worked.
I've run GBS as MD. I've funded it as CFO. I know the difference between a strategy problem, a process problem, and a people problem. And I know which one you actually have within the first five days.
Most advisors hand you a report and leave. I stay until the result is in the board pack.
Most consultants studied GBS. I ran it — as CFO, as MD, across 20+ countries.
Most frameworks cost €500K and take 6 months. My diagnostic takes 5 days and costs a fraction.
I didn't study GBS transformation from the outside. I lived it — as Group CFO, Managing Director, and Country Manager across multinationals in 20+ countries.
As CFO, I know exactly what I needed from GBS and almost never got. As MD, I know precisely what GBS leaders are capable of when someone gives them the right framework and language. That dual perspective is the only thing in this space that can't be faked or replicated.
I'm a Harvard-trained practitioner in Disruptive Innovation and Design Thinking — which means I don't just fix what's broken. I help organisations see what's possible before their competitors do.
I co-founded Four Point Zero, a Houston, Texas-based automation company (2017–2020). I don't just advise on transformation. I build it.
I channel everything above into Nalu Experts — the firm I built to deliver this work at scale.
I don't wait for someone else to prove it works first. I never have.
Four ways I work with GBS leaders and CFOs — all of them hands-on:
I benchmark your operation against 50+ real transformations across AP, AR, GL, Procurement, HR, and IT. I find the specific gaps costing you cash flow and credibility. Then I work alongside your team to close them — without replacing them. Typical outcome: 20–35% efficiency gains on top of existing cost savings.
Delivered through Nalu Experts
For CFOs who need GBS to become a genuine strategic partner — not a cost report machine. For COOs where execution hasn't caught up with strategy. I translate between both sides using the language that actually lands in board meetings: cash position, working capital, margin, risk.
Delivered through Nalu Experts
In 3–5 days you'll know exactly where your operation ranks against best-in-class across every major process stream. Fixed scope, fixed price, clear output you can take to your CFO immediately. The right starting point before any transformation investment — no commitment required after.
Delivered through Nalu Experts
Intensive sessions for GBS leadership teams and executive committees. Built to align strategy with execution, develop the financial fluency GBS leaders need to influence the board, and leave your team with a roadmap they'll actually use — not file away.
Delivered through Nalu Experts
Most consulting firms send a senior partner to sell — then a junior team to deliver. You pay for the brand. You get the bench.
I co-founded Nalu Experts to fix that. One model. One rule: every engagement is led by a senior practitioner who has actually run what they're fixing.
Verified figures from real client engagements — not consulting estimates or firm-level aggregates.
What working with me actually looks like:
Every week I write about the decisions, frameworks, and hard truths that separate GBS organisations that lead from those that just report. Practical. Specific. No filler.
GBS Director? Let's get you the seat at the table.
CFO? Let's build the GBS partner you've always needed but never found.
