Message

At Eurofins, I lead an accounts receivable operations team across countries and entities. I reduced unallocated cash items by 66% through process review and daily follow-up.

I also redesigned workflows to halve ticket turnaround time and raise SLA compliance to 95%. I’m advancing cash allocation automation, management reporting and transition projects.

Previously, I managed accounts receivable at Osborn and finance IT services at Continental Engineering Services. My experience includes cash allocation, factoring, overdue payment collection and shared-services transitions.
