What I'm looking for

I'm looking to help innovation-driven ventures or organizations strengthen planning, financial clarity, funding capacity, and long-term impact.

At InnoEnergy, I lead finance and business control for the Masters+ business line while overseeing EU grant strategy and execution. I turn budgeting, forecasting, business cases, reporting, and performance management into sustainable growth for its education ecosystem.

As Finance Business Partner for Iberia, I've supported six European renewable-energy ventures, built financial models that enabled approximately €6M in capital raises, and managed quarterly forecasting for a roughly €4M annual budget.

Across InnoEnergy's innovation portfolio, I've led EIT reporting and audit processes to achieve a 99.5% grant recovery rate and coordinated finance professionals across Spain, Portugal, Sweden, and Finland to deliver 99% reporting accuracy.

My earlier work at Médecins Sans Frontières, Siemens, and Anheuser-Busch InBev combined finance transformation, treasury, controlling, and international operations. I'm motivated by economics, music, psychology, and social and humanitarian causes.
