Passionate and results-driven finance leader with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in transforming FP&A functions through automation, digital enablement, and data-driven insights. I thrive on solving complex financial challenges and delivering measurable impact—whether optimizing planning cycles, redesigning reporting frameworks, or leading large-scale transformation programs.
My career foundation was built in Big 4 audit and assurance, where I developed strong analytical rigor, deep technical expertise, and a disciplined approach to governance and compliance. Moving into industry allowed me to expand that foundation by leading strategic FP&A initiatives and driving operational excellence through innovative automation solutions.
Across my roles, I have successfully led projects that modernized finance operations, including:
- Implementing automated budgeting and forecasting tools that improved accuracy and reduced cycle time.
- Digitizing management reporting through integrated dashboards, self-service analytics, and real-time performance insights.
- Streamlining cross-regional reporting processes to harmonize financial outputs and enhance strategic alignment.
- Optimizing cost structures using data-driven models that supported sustainable growth and profitability.
- Embedding automation into controllership operations, strengthening governance and improving process resilience.
I believe that the future of finance lies in blending automation, analytics, and strategic partnership. My approach centers on clear communication, cross-functional collaboration, and empowering teams with the tools and insights needed to make faster, smarter decisions.
Outside of work, I stay deeply engaged with emerging technologies, automation trends, and the continuously evolving world of digital finance.
