What I'm looking for

I am seeking an AP leadership role where I can drive process automation, improve accuracy and cash flow, mentor teams, and deliver measurable operational improvements.

I am a results-driven Accounts Payable leader with 9+ years optimizing P2P processes across shared services and BPO environments, leading high-performing remote teams and managing large invoice volumes with excellent SLA compliance. I have a strong track record of reducing processing errors, accelerating month-end close, and improving on-time payments through process improvements and automation.

My technical proficiency includes SAP S/4HANA, SAP Ariba, SAP FI-AP, Advanced Excel and Power BI, and I have delivered measurable outcomes such as a 40% reduction in processing errors, a 20% faster month-end close, and significant improvements in vendor relationships and cash-flow visibility.
