What I'm looking for

I’m seeking managerial-level Financial Planning & Analysis and Financial Management roles in a growth-oriented organization—where I can own budgeting/forecasting, deliver executive reporting, and drive process efficiency, standardization, and actionable cost and profitability insights.

I’m an MBA-qualified finance professional with around 19 years of functional experience in Financial Planning & Analysis, Business Controlling, team management, and systems implementation. I specialize in hands-on planning, reporting, financial modeling, and forecasting—owning full P&L by product, business segment, and region while driving budgets, reforecasts, and variance analysis to enable financial control.

I’ve helped executives and senior stakeholders run the business with clear, decision-ready reporting at CFO/SVP level—pairing margin and contribution analysis with result-oriented cost reduction. Across HSBC, Electronic Arts, and Deloitte, I’ve improved process efficiency through report optimization, automation, and finance transformation (including Hyperion implementation and dashboards), while mentoring teams and delivering executive monthly and quarterly packs that connect cost centers to client reporting.
