Strategic FP&A and corporate finance professional leveraging KPI-driven analysis to optimize OPEX, improve controls, and enable data-led decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a strategic finance professional with 10+ years of experience driving FP&A, corporate finance, and accounting in fast-paced multinational environments. I focus on KPI monitoring, variance analysis, and commercial P/L evaluation to support data-driven decision making and operational clarity.
I’ve contributed to high-impact initiatives, including a $100M Israel Technology Fund supported through actionable financial analysis and due diligence. I also supported cross-border capital markets work by verifying data for SGX listing projects and M&A engagements, ensuring accuracy and consistency for executive decision-making.
My work consistently improves performance and controls: I led OPEX optimization by evaluating vendors to guide JCB selection and enabling automation projected to reduce fees by 30%. I also championed workflow redesign that reduced invoice processing errors by 35%, strengthening data integrity and internal controls.
In finance leadership roles, I delivered tangible outcomes such as a 2.5% ongoing fee reduction and $29,000 in upfront savings by driving implementation of the Bakuraku invoice system while maintaining service levels. I’m motivated to partner cross-functionally, translate insights into operational action, and keep systems, processes, and reporting aligned with business goals.
