What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a financial control or planning role where I can improve forecasting, cost control, reporting quality, and operational decision-making through data-driven financial insights.

At bp, I deliver management information, financial reviews, and economic analytics for supply chain operations across the Balkans and Iberia. I lead planning, forecasting, variance analysis, inventory valuation, product costing, and working-capital oversight.

Previously, I strengthened US GAAP reporting, budgeting, reconciliations, and expense control at AHI Carrier and IBM, building on earlier accounting and business analysis experience. I use SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Hyperion Essbase, HFM, Cognos TM1, and advanced Excel to turn financial data into decisions.
