What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative finance or FP&A role—ideally in healthcare/medical device—where I can apply analytics, forecasting and cross-functional business partnering to drive financial performance and operational improvements.

I am a finance professional with deep experience supporting $200M+ businesses, delivering monthly reconciliations, GTN analyses, revenue reporting and month-end close activities. I lead finance reviews, build forecasts and budgets, partner with Sales, Supply Chain and Marketing, and provide clear analysis for business reviews and audits.

I have worked across healthcare, medical device and pharmaceutical environments and bring strong technical proficiency in Oracle, Anaplan, Cognos and Excel plus hands-on payroll and headcount planning experience. I solve operational issues, drive cost-saving initiatives and enjoy translating complex data into actionable recommendations.
