Welcome!
I'm Sharief I can Help You In Building A Resilient And Flexible Finance Function For Your Start-up or Scale-up.
The finance departement is sometimes the last department to think about. But a resilient and flexible finance function can add enormous value to your company on operational- and strategical level.
Let’s meet and I’ll talk you through it!
About me
I am Sharief Mohamed, I have over 10 years experience in Finance. I started my career as an Auditor at KPMG. My main clients were midsize and large retail- and production companies. After obtaining my CPA title it was time for me to leave the safe environment of a corporate giant and head out.
I knew that I wanted to work for a start- or scale-up. I ended up at Wayne Parker Kent in the function of Finance Manager. At Wayne Parker Kent I successfully set up the finance function and eventually working together with the CFO to sell the company to Mediahuis. After my experience at Wayne Parker Kent, I started at Otrium.
At Otrium I was end responsible for all financial, legal and tax operations in the function of Head of Finance, Legal and Tax. Building the finance-, legal- and tax function from scratch and guiding Otrium through the Series B 24M (2020) and the Series C 100M (2021).
After Otrium I set up Bhoujé and freelanced along side my fulltime job as a CFO/COO for Lalaland.ai. Lalaland uses neural networks (Artificial Intelligence) to create diverse, inclusive, and gender-fluid non-existing metahumans for digital fashion brands to showcase collections to buyers, sellers, merchandisers, and consumers on models which actually look like their customers.
As a CFO/COO of Lalaland I was responsible for Finance, Legal, Tax, Marketing and HR. Including Investor relations and funding.
Currently (2024) I am open for small freelance gigs while I am exploring entrepreneurial opportunities with the goal of finding a new exciting adventure.
I set up Bhoujé to provide freelance financial advisory services for start- and scale-up’s on setting up a resilient and flexible finance function (finance, legal and tax) which can grow with the company, add value through data and insights and strengthen the overall performance of the company.
