What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior finance role where I can lead digital transformation, optimize costs, mentor teams, and partner with commercial leaders to drive profitable growth and improved cash flow.

I am a strategic and commercially aware finance professional with nine years' experience delivering measurable business results across FMCG and consulting, including over $20M in cost savings through data-driven insights, operational excellence and stakeholder engagement.

I specialize in digital transformation, cost optimization, resource planning, strategic pricing, profitability optimization, cash flow and risk management, and I have strong command of budgeting, forecasting and management reporting. My recent roles delivered outcomes such as 95% forecast accuracy, large tax savings, significant DSO reduction, and Power BI automation that cut reporting time by 70%.

I leveraged a career break for volunteer project coordination and professional development—strengthening my project management and Python skills—while mentoring teams and ensuring smooth succession during transitions. I partner with cross-functional leaders to translate complex finance into actionable commercial KPIs.
