I steer multi-country finance, closing, forecasting, and performance across complex portfolios.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently leading financial steering for ISS Facility Services' Cleaning & Infrastructure segment, overseeing close, forecasting, budgeting, and performance analysis across regional business units with approximately €125m in annual revenue.
At CBRE GWS, I owned multi-country closing, billing, forecasting, balance-sheet reviews, and financial control across project portfolios in Switzerland, Germany, the UK, Ireland, and Austria with annual volumes of approximately €100m. I helped improve billing accuracy, reduce accounts receivable, stabilize portfolios, and support ERP roll-outs and system migrations.
I've also built finance operations and governance for major FM accounts, including a €40m account, while partnering closely with Operations, Contract Support, clients, and global finance teams.
