I drive commercial finance growth, profitability, forecasting, and cost optimization for FMCG businesses.
Saudi ArabiaWhat I'm looking for
I've built commercial finance strategies for National Biscuits Confectionery Co. Ltd., supporting major brands including Teashop, Memories, and Al-Batal across KSA and export markets.
As Commercial Finance Manager, I lead budgeting, revenue management, pricing, forecasting, marketing control, sales-force cost planning, and SKU profitability analysis using SAP ERP. My work contributed to more than 40% sales growth over three years, 5% to 10% SKU margin improvement, and a 30% reduction in sales and marketing expenses.
I've also shortened reporting turnaround by five to six days through financial modeling and Power Query, while providing recommendations to senior leadership on profitability, discounts, rebates, marketing activity, and strategic planning.
Earlier, I managed accounts receivable for Metito Water Treatment across Egypt and North Africa and handled accounts payable at Ipsos Egypt. I'm a Certified Management Accountant with a foundation in accounting, finance, ERP systems, Excel, Power BI, and financial analysis.
