What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Finance and Operations Director with a proven track record of transforming financial and operational activities to drive significant growth. At Billding & Rico, I successfully implemented a new system that optimized sales targets, improved cost efficiency, and provided clear financial statements, enabling more accurate decision-making. My leadership in negotiations with brands and suppliers led to a remarkable 76% increase in sales and a 49% boost in net profit.
Previously, as an Operations Manager at Oatside, I collaborated closely with financial controllers to manage operational costs and drive strategies for cost efficiency. My experience spans various roles in finance, including Assistant Finance Manager at Unilever, where I was instrumental in managing budgets and financial strategies for one of the largest business units. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about leveraging my skills to enhance business operations and achieve strategic goals.
