What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a results-focused executive leader with over 13 years of experience in finance, specializing in financial planning and analysis, strategic finance, and risk management. My unique blend of skills in FP&A, operational finance, and technical accounting has enabled me to lead and develop large enterprise finance teams both onshore and offshore. I have a proven track record of streamlining processes and implementing data-driven solutions that optimize operating models and drive growth.

Currently, I serve as the Vice President of Finance at Randstad, where I lead a high-growth global division responsible for 21 countries and 25 finance professionals. My role involves providing strategic financial guidance to executive leadership, developing predictive models, and collaborating with divisional CFOs to negotiate allocations and establish synergies across the globe. I am passionate about leveraging my finance expertise and strong leadership skills to innovate and drive sustainable growth for the organization.
