What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my financial expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on strategic decision-making and team leadership.

I am an accounting professional with over 20 years of experience, including 14 years in the Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) industry for oil and gas. My expertise lies in finance, budgeting, forecasting, and SAP implementation, where I have consistently driven strategic financial decision-making.

In my current role as Finance Manager at Applus Malaysia Sdn Bhd, I oversee financial operations across Malaysia, Thailand, and the broader Southeast Asia region. I develop and manage regional budgets, forecasts, and cash flow projections to support strategic decision-making. My leadership has been pivotal in identifying cost optimization opportunities and driving financial performance improvement initiatives.

Previously, as an ERP Functional Specialist at Velosi Philippines Inc., I led the end-to-end Accelerated SAP R/3 FICO implementation and assisted with full ERP implementation in Applus offices globally. My collaborative approach with cross-functional teams has ensured successful project outcomes and system adoption.
