Senior ERP Financial Business Analyst leveraging Oracle Cloud to deliver compliant, reliable finance systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior ERP Financial Business Analyst with over 20 years of progressive experience in enterprise financial systems, business coordination, and stakeholder management. I specialize as a subject matter expert in Oracle ERP implementations (Cloud and EBS R12) and F2M processes, translating complex financial requirements into technical solutions while ensuring strict compliance.
At UNHCR, I’m a core leader within the global finance stream and the primary liaison between global business stakeholders and IT service teams. I manage comprehensive Cloud ERP Finance support and reporting for Headquarters and complex Country Operations, consistently maintaining 99.5% system availability for global financial operations.
During the 2023 transition from Peoplesoft to Oracle Cloud, I served as the Key Finance Focal Point for end-to-end migration and implementation of the Oracle Cloud Fusion platform. I validated cloud reporting strategy and guided migration of legacy frameworks and dashboards, coordinated critical interface and role testing, and led master data/open items/GL balance migration—achieving zero data loss aligned with UN financial regulations.
Earlier, I managed ERP analytical solutions at WIPO (Oracle Business Intelligence and EPM/Hyperion), and at IAEA I served as ERP Technical Lead / Integration Specialist across Oracle ERP, OBIEE, and Hyperion Planning. Across roles, I’ve built high-performing cross-functional teams, strengthened ITIL-based processes (including ISO/IEC 20000 certification impact), and delivered measurable improvements like reduced year-end closure timelines and improved incident review and resolution.
