Senior finance executive at Nestlé who delivered recurring savings and enabled large-scale service-centre growth.

Switzerland
Message

At Nestlé, I served as Head of Finance and Control for IBS, supporting financial operations through growth across seven global service centres. I established benchmarking tools that achieved approximately 10% recurring annual savings at comparable scope.

As Global Category Controller for Starbucks at Nestlé, I supported the brand’s expansion from five to 80 international markets and contributed to CHF 1.1 billion in incremental sales. I also designed a global royalties calculation methodology and tool adopted across Alliance markets.

Across finance roles in procurement, supply chain, marketing and regional business control, I contributed to cost savings, working-capital improvements and financial visibility. My goal is to create lasting value by bringing together financial discipline, strategic thinking and people leadership.
