Asla Mensala
@aslamensala
I build accurate forecasts, controls and decision-ready financial insight across international businesses.
What I'm looking for
I’ve delivered FP&A, budgeting, forecasting and reporting across international entertainment, media, medical technology and SaaS organisations, including Paramount, Insulet Corporation and Trafalgar Entertainment.
At Paramount, I coordinated Consumer Products forecasting across international markets, managed more than $2.5m in operational and marketing budgets, and built reconciliation tools that achieved 100% forecast accuracy before leadership reporting.
At Insulet, I consolidated EMEA P&L forecasts across 12 entities covering approximately $120m OPEX and $300m revenue, while supporting five-year planning, CFO reporting and month-end accruals.
I use advanced Excel, SAP, Longview and planning systems to automate reporting, improve controls and turn variances, risks and opportunities into clear decisions. I’m a CIMA Advanced Diploma finalist with two exams remaining.
