United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a finance leader with 6+ years of divisional, FP&A, financial modeling, and strategic reporting across a $365M international publishing portfolio. I guide London-based publishing leadership on financial reporting, KPIs, budgets, forecasts, and long-term growth initiatives, while aligning cross-timezone stakeholders with Paris-based executives.
In my roles, I own end-to-end close and performance reporting for hundreds to 1,000+ titles, translating complex variance and market signals into clear strategic narratives for senior leadership. I’ve managed and developed a team of 4 analysts, built and validated financial models to support investment and contract strategy, and led acquisition analysis to evaluate unearned advance exposure and title/divisional profitability.
