What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can own FP&A, automate reporting/QBRs, build models and dashboards, and drive cross-functional cost optimization—helping leadership and the board make faster, data-driven decisions.

I’m an FP&A professional who builds faster, board-ready reporting and decision support—automating financial reporting and QBR processes, facilitating month-end close, and maintaining quarterly updates to annual plans as forecast assumptions change with business and market trends. I’ve also built advanced Excel models and partnered with data teams to launch dashboards tracking revenue, UA, and budgets for long-range planning.

Previously, I led cross-functional cost optimization and rightsizing, renegotiating vendor contracts and streamlining operations to realize $5M+ in annual savings and a 12% reduction in OPEX without impacting productivity. I also bring broader finance experience from Deutsche Bank (Fixed Income and Currencies) supporting FX/Rates risk work across geographies, and from EY where I handled tax compliance and compliance/litigation needs for expat clients across 30+ MNCs—now backed by my CFA Level 2 candidacy.
