Ali Gerber

I've led finance transformation and commercial growth at Galetti Commercial & Industrial, Centra AI, and Investec Bank, building financial strategy, forecasting, incentive models, and reporting environments for executive decision-making. At Centra AI, I redesigned the finance function and reduced the reporting cycle from 15 days to 2 days. I've automated deal-flow and legacy reporting using SQL, Power BI, and advanced Excel; supported M&A due diligence and business integration; and strengthened operational controls, revenue governance, and board reporting. I bring experience across South African and UAE expansion, including Dubai investment modelling, budgeting, regulatory research, and operating-model planning.
