What I love

I love hanging out in a CrossFit box where I train every day surrounded by a community focused on bettering itself and achieving goals. I could spend all my (free and non-free) time there; nowhere is better at forcing me to work on my weaknesses and become stronger.

Chief Financial Officer

For me, commitment is paramount

My journey from Head of Operations to Chief Financial Officer at Aster reflects a deep and sustained commitment. After eight years at the heart of our operations, I’ve learned that dedication means consistently showing up with high standards, clarity, and purpose. That mindset continues to guide me in my new role, where financial stewardship, strategic foresight, and internal control are key pillars.

 

There’s a complex ecosystem behind funds

As CFO, I remain closely connected to the fund ecosystem. I coordinate with portfolio companies, LPs, auditors, the depositary bank, and the Regulator, ensuring that every stakeholder is aligned and informed. I thrive on being at the intersection of these moving parts, where precision and responsiveness are essential.

 

It helps to have a broad perspective

Having joined Aster in 2017, I’ve built a consolidated view of our portfolio, our performance, and our operational DNA. That long-term perspective allows me to support teams with a strategic lens, helping them navigate day-to-day decisions with a clear understanding of the bigger picture.
