IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a seasoned FP&A & data analytics leader with 13+ years of experience supporting global organizations across GCC, BPO, and shared services environments.

In my recent roles, I’ve led end-to-end budgeting, forecasting, outlook, and AOP processes, while building executive-ready Power BI dashboards using DAX, Power Query, and scalable data models.
