What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to drive financial process improvements.

I am a detail-oriented finance professional with extensive experience in Accounts Payable and finance operations across international environments. My strengths lie in invoice processing, reconciliations, and vendor communication, where I leverage systems like SAP to ensure smooth workflows. I have successfully supported finance operations in the EMEA and APAC regions, collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet deadlines and maintain compliance.

Currently, I lead the Payments Team at PayPal Limited, where I oversee daily operations, ensuring compliance and accuracy in payment execution. My role involves supervising payment runs, resolving escalations, and driving process improvements through automation. I am committed to delivering training sessions to enhance collaboration within the AP Team, and I take pride in my structured approach and adaptability to process enhancements.

With a background in financial project management and a strong educational foundation in economics and civil engineering, I bring a unique perspective to financial management. I am proactive, solution-driven, and dedicated to continuous improvement in finance operations.
