What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead finance operations and reporting, drive automation, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver measurable revenue and process improvements.

I am a finance professional with 5+ years supporting global operations, month-end close, and multi-regional cross-functional collaboration. I have a proven track record building finance operations from the ground up, recovering significant revenue leakage, and implementing automation to improve accuracy and efficiency.

I convert complex operational and financial data into executive-ready insights using PowerBI and Excel (Power Query) and have led projects that generated incremental revenue and reduced manual processing time by 75%. I partner effectively with legal, sales, operations, and leadership to standardize contracts, streamline AR and billing processes, and support strategic decision-making.
