Candidate Profile for a Head of FP&A

Up until recently, this candidate headed up the regional FP&A for a division spanning seven areas and over fifty countries within a leading multinational in the shipping and logistics sector. This CA(SA) brings 15+ years’ progressive finance experience across audit, internal audit, entrepreneurship and senior finance business partnering roles spanning Africa, India and the Middle East. A structured, analytical thinker with a strong problem-solving orientation, she combines technical rigour with hands-on commercial insight, having previously founded and run her own accounting and advisory practice and led internal audit for a JSE-listed investment group. Known for a collaborative, open-door leadership style, she is passionate about developing people and building high-performing, values-aligned teams. She is now seeking a more operationally embedded, commercial role where she can move closer to the business, drive strategic growth initiatives, and get “hands-on” beyond a traditional FP&A remit.
