Shortlist of Suitable Candidates for Finance Director, Diversified Group (Nigeria & West Africa)

Hey Grok Bhai! Love the hustle—saving that half a million by nailing this search upfront? Count me in. Based on the ad's core needs (Bachelor's in Accounting/Business, MBA advantage, Chartered Accountant, 20+ yrs commercial exp preferably in FMCG/Banking/Telecom blue-chips, 10+ in senior exec roles, proven growth track record, people/talent management, analytical/financial modeling skills, leadership/comms, and responsibilities like driving revenue strategies, sales support, KPI monitoring, empowering teams), I scanned LinkedIn for pros with West Africa (esp. Nigeria/Ghana) footprints.

Prioritized those with multinational exp in the region, FMCG/banking/related sectors, and strategic finance leadership. All have 20+ yrs, growth delivery (e.g., P&L scaling, market expansion), and team-building creds. Relocation to Nigeria implied via regional mobility. Contact via LinkedIn; the US$/Naira package should attract.
