What I'm looking for

I’m looking for FP&A and operations finance work where I can translate operational data into forecasting, KPIs, and decision-support models—especially constraint-based throughput/profitability improvements. I’m remote-ready and open to international contractor roles.

I’m a finance and operations professional focused on turning operational data into better financial decisions. I’ve advised manufacturing clients on product-mix, special-order, and capacity decisions, and for one client I co-developed a constraint-based operating model.

I combine FP&A support, forecasting, advanced Excel modeling, KPI thinking, process improvement, and AI-enabled workflow automation to connect day-to-day operations with profitability. I also build Excel decision-support tools that map constraints and cycle times so leaders and shop-floor teams can make real-time decisions—turning throughput and decision theory into measurable results.
