About

Passionate about Leadership, Business and Digital Transformation | Aspiring CEO | Seeking Mentorship Opportunities

Kia Ora! I am Firdaus, a final-year (3rd Year) Accounting and Information Systems student at the University of Auckland. I am driven by an insatiable eagerness to continuously learn and develop my professional self in challenging situations and diverse cultural settings. I have a proven track record of excelling as both an agile leader and a valuable team player, having gained extensive experience through internships, volunteering engagements, and leadership programs.

With a keen interest in the field of business, I am particularly drawn to the intersection of technology and accounting standards and practices. I firmly believe that integrating technology into business processes is the foundation for exponential growth in any industry. Through my studies in accounting and information systems, I have acquired a deep understanding of how effective data management drives informed decision-making at an entrepreneurial level, facilitating business growth and performance. I am eager to apply this knowledge and collaborate with like-minded individuals in a work setting to make a meaningful impact in the world.

Aspiring to become a Chief Executive Officer and hold a prominent C-suite role within an organization, I am seeking guidance and mentorship from seasoned professionals who can provide valuable insights and help shape my career trajectory. I firmly believe that mentorship is a powerful catalyst for personal and professional growth, and I am eager to learn from experienced leaders who can share their wisdom and expertise.

I am open to new opportunities, challenges, and collaborations that align with my career aspirations. If you are interested in connecting, sharing insights, or discussing potential mentorship opportunities, please don't hesitate to reach out. Let's embark on a journey of growth and transformation together!
