Finance leader with 14+ years driving FP&A, cost reduction, and dashboards for executive decision-making.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented finance leader with 14+ years of experience across financial planning & analysis, finance and accounting, strategic planning, and process improvement. I build robust financial models and operational metrics dashboards that support executive-level decisions and protect profitability.
As GM Finance & Accounting / Head of Finance, I spearhead financial strategy, planning, and analysis—driving a 5% increase in Gross Profit and strategizing reductions in write-offs and marked downs. I oversee budgeting, forecasting, and reporting, contributing to a 10% decrease in operating expenses YoY, while strengthening internal controls to reduce financial discrepancies by 5%.
I lead a team of 14 finance professionals and manage cash flow, working capital, and treasury functions to optimize financial resources. I ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, reducing audit findings by 0.1% through diligent oversight and proactive measures tied to product shrinkage.
Previously, I drove high-impact FP&A improvements at GoTo GojekTokopedia, including a 25% increase in accuracy within D+3 through advanced analytical tools, and 10% YoY cost reduction through annual budgeting leadership. Earlier roles included M&A-focused due diligence for a $667M acquisition, warehouse and distribution expense optimization (20% YoY), and operational variance analysis that delivered measurable savings and performance improvements.
