About Ahad

I help organizations transform their finance and risk functions to drive smarter decisions, efficiency, and sustainable growth.

With 20+ years of experience as CFO, CRO, and Group Head of Finance & Risk, I specialize in FP&A, finance transformation, and business intelligence (Power BI dashboards, SaaS & fintech KPIs, scenario modeling). I’ve led large-scale budgeting, reporting, and consolidation projects under IFRS and Basel frameworks, and built data-driven tools that improved forecasting accuracy and board-level reporting.

🌍 What makes me different is the combination of:
- Strategic finance leadership (financial planning, capital allocation, investor reporting).
- Hands-on BI development (Power BI, automated dashboards, real-time KPI tracking).
- Risk and ESG expertise (credit, liquidity, climate risk, impact finance).
- Track record of finance transformations across Europe and Asia, from microfinance to global investment groups.

🔧 Projects I deliver:
- Interim FP&A / CFO support (budgets, forecasts, board packs).
- Power BI dashboards for financial & risk KPIs.
- End-to-end finance transformation (process automation, faster closes, data integration).
- Advisory on sustainable finance, risk frameworks, and ESG reporting.

🎯 Let’s connect if you need hands-on FP&A expertise, Power BI dashboard development, or finance transformation leadership that delivers measurable impact.
