I lead regional FP&A, turning financial data into faster commercial decisions.
What I'm looking for
I lead regional FP&A at MAGRABi Retail Group, owning budgeting and forecasting for the MEA region and analyzing performance across 90+ stores.
I replaced traditional Excel P&L reporting with self-serve dashboards that help non-financial VPs generate insights independently, accelerate decisions, and reduce reporting time. I also strengthen expense control by reviewing POs and highlighting risks and opportunities.
Before MAGRABi, I progressed from Junior Accountant to Financial Business Analytics & Improvement Team Leader at MetLife. I standardized performance and profitability reporting across the Levant, reduced monthly sales-reporting errors to zero, improved reinsurance reporting, and built a business case to expand my team from two to four direct reports.
