Clarity in complexity. Calm in growth.
Strategic partner | Chief of Staff | Finance, Compliance and Internal Ops
I work closely with entrepreneurs and senior leaders to steady the space between vision and execution. I bring structure where things stretch, clarity where there’s noise, and the calm that lets growth keep moving.I support founders best when I’m behind the scenes, holding the rhythm of the business without needing the spotlight. I create the structure and clarity that allow ambition to be executed well, and help teams move with focus, trust, and direction.The goal is simple. A business that works on the inside, not just the outside.
What I do
I help founders and executive teams stay focused, aligned, and in control, especially when things are moving fast or evolving behind the scenes.My strength sits in internal operations like finance, compliance, and infrastructure, but my value often extends beyond that. I bring calm clarity in moments of complexity and build the kind of structure that holds when growth accelerates.I’m trusted to step into the grey, connect across functions, and keep momentum steady when uncertainty rises. In times of growth, I often hear teams say decisions are made at the top without considering the ripple effect on workflow, workload, or efficiency. I support founders in driving their vision forward, but I also make sure that what’s built is workable and sustainable for the people doing the work.
I’ve built and led finance functions from the ground up, including reconciliation, internal reporting, tax compliance, and daily controls. I work across group structures and international entities to ensure reporting is clean, compliant, and decision-ready. I enjoy untangling complexity and setting a rhythm leadership can rely on.
I bring structure to internal functions so the business can scale without confusion or friction. From workflows and HR to team coordination and administration, I make sure operations run smoothly, communication flows, and leadership can focus on what matters most.
I help businesses stay aligned with internal and external requirements, from ISO standards and documentation to tax filings and systems design. I step in where needed to make processes practical, traceable and set up for long-term stability.
What I've done
I have worked across finance, internal operations and compliance in founder-led companies, group structures and high-volume environments. I am usually brought in when something needs to be stabilised, restructured or made more reliable. I navigate complexity quickly, get to the root of issues and build the kind of clarity leaders can act on.In one role, I was trusted to lead the launch of a new company and product under strict ISO regulation while the founder stepped away. I delivered. It was high pressure, high stakes, but a proud result. That experience also made it clear how much stronger the outcome can be when there is space to think, a partner to spar with, and the right structure to support pace.A solid foundation is usually more sustainable than a rushed one, and that is the kind I like to build.

Why work with me
I care about progress. I'm energised by helping people and businesses move, whether that’s solving a challenge or getting things flowing again.I work best in environments where trust runs deep and the path ahead isn’t fully mapped. I bring clear thinking and a steady presence that helps teams stay grounded when things are in motion.I’ve built from scratch and supported founders through complex transitions. One founder once asked if I was more of a big picture thinker or a detail person. I paused, because choosing one never felt quite right. The truth is, I’ve always been both. I think like a founder but move with the rhythm of a team. I can hold the vision while working through the steps that make it real, without losing connection to either side.People describe me as one of the core pillars behind the scenes. Quietly powerful. Deeply reliable. Someone who brings structure and trust to the table when it matters most. People describe me as one of the core pillars behind the scenes. Quietly powerful. Deeply reliable.

I remember a founder telling me, “The best people are the ones you don’t need to check in on. You just know they’re on it.” He said I was that person, and that kind of trust stayed with me.
What working together is like
"I had the pleasure of working with Moya during a critical growth phase of our company. She brought clarity, structure, and calm to a fast-paced, complex environment, leading our finance operations with both strategic insight and hands-on precision.
From reconciliations to process improvements, Moya built a solid foundation that enabled us to scale with confidence. Her practical, adaptable systems supported clear decision-making and long-term stability. She’s one of those people who makes things feel lighter, even when the pressure is high. I'd recommend her without hesitation and I would work with her again in a heartbeat."

“Moya brings clarity in the middle of chaos. She knows exactly what needs to be done and does it without fuss.”
– Former CEO, Safety equipment industry
“What I appreciated most is how steady and thoughtful Moya is. You feel safe handing her the big stuff.”
– Director, Bluephone Digital BV
"I worked with Moya for over 4 years at Green Grape B.V., where she was my Manager of the Finance team I was part of. I was able to appreciate her honesty, discretion and her good translation of management's desire into operational execution on the work floor. Moya is very detailed and has strong analytical thinking skills. She also excels at translating data into useful information to process both financially but also in improvements to procedures. Moya is a perfectionist professional and expects the same from her team. She will be a great asset to any company looking for a (Finance) Manager who thinks along with the company but also where she can empower the right people in the right positions."
