What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role in finance that offers growth opportunities and challenges in a dynamic environment.

I am a financial professional with over 15 years of managerial experience in private equity-backed corporations. My expertise lies in IFRS accounting, reporting, and controlling, as well as the transformation of financial organizations. I have successfully led teams in various financial functions, including planning, forecasting, and budgeting, while also managing complex M&A processes and IPO preparations.

Currently, I serve as the Head of Group Controlling and FP&A at Deutsche Funkturm GmbH, where I oversee a team of 15 and am responsible for all aspects of group reporting and financial planning. My previous roles include Head of Group Finance at Rad-x Group and Finance Director at Adapa Group, where I led significant financial transformations and played a crucial role in successful refinancing processes.
