What I'm looking for

I’m looking to drive profitable growth through CFO-ready FP&A, cash flow and working-capital discipline. I want to build driver-based models, automate reporting with BI/AI, and partner with commercial leaders in a fast, structured remote environment.

I’m a Senior FP&A professional with 16+ years in finance and 7+ years leading the finance function of a 400+ million USD diversified group. I own CFO-level business performance while staying hands-on in budgeting, rolling forecasts, and decision support.

My focus is turning complex drivers into clear actions: driver-based P&L/BS/CF models, variance analysis, financial commentary, revenue and margin analytics, cash flow and working capital, and unit economics. I strengthen commercial finance by linking price/volume/mix, gross-to-net, and promo ROI to SKU/channel/customer profitability.

I also bring strong automation: ERP/BI dashboards, management reporting that supports monthly business reviews, and practical AI/LLM use cases for variance commentary, data QA, and knowledge search. I build BI and AI-assisted FP&A workflows that keep reporting fast, structured, and effective in remote and distributed environments.

In practice, I’ve delivered measurable outcomes—improving net margin by 2 p.p., releasing USD 60m+ of cash flow through NWC discipline, reducing monthly close from 15 to 3 days, and lowering debt during the CAPEX cycle while keeping liquidity and covenant control. I enjoy leading performance management and process discipline, from KPI/SLA setup to FP&A team development.
