What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers strategic challenges and opportunities for growth while can work fully remotely.

With over 12 years of analytical experience in financial services and Fortune 500 FMCG companies, I have developed a proven track record in budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and profitability optimization. My expertise lies in streamlining processes and enhancing financial performance, which has consistently led to significant time savings and improved decision-making for executives.

Throughout my career, I have successfully redesigned financial processes, such as the R&D accrual automation at Saluda Medical, which reduced processing time from two days to under two hours. I have partnered with key stakeholders to develop comprehensive business plans and financial strategies that align with organizational goals. My ability to analyze market trends and consumer behavior has enabled me to drive performance across various sectors, ensuring that financial insights translate into actionable strategies.
