What I'm looking for

After a planned family caregiving sabbatical, I’m seeking a senior finance, FP&A or business intelligence leadership role where I can use strategic thinking, business partnering and data-driven insights to help organisations achieve sustainable growth and operational excellence.

At Nynas AB, I led global budgeting and quarterly forecasting for a business with approximately USD 1.5 billion in annual revenue across 28 legal entities and 3 global business units. I enhanced the financial model and partnered with the CFO and Executive Leadership Team on reporting for Board-level presentations.

At Bristol Myers Squibb, I led patient-level forecasting and budgeting across the Nordic countries and designed interactive Power BI dashboards for sales performance, patient analytics and executive KPIs. I also contributed Nordic forecasts to European planning and global forecasting processes.

Earlier, I led FP&A across 9 countries and 17 divisions at Sandvik, and owned commercial forecasting for Sweden and Finland at Biogen. After a planned family caregiving sabbatical, I’m seeking to return to a senior finance, FP&A or business intelligence leadership role.
