At Kiwi.com, I built the FP&A function from scratch and own the company planning model, budget, forecasts, and monthly performance-versus-plan cadence. I led the Farseer implementation and rebuilt the budget as a driver-based model, cutting the monthly forecast cycle from 7 to 3 days.

I lead long-range planning for Kiwi.com’s next liquidity event, support IPO readiness, and report to investors. Earlier, at Impress, I increased annual cash collection by €10M; at Be Republic, I helped the company reach profitability within one year. At Vueling Airlines IAG Group, I worked on planning and aircraft economics, and at Deloitte I built a Route Profitability department for a large European LCC.
