Message

At Alexandrion Group, I directed accounting and financial controlling for the Romanian business and led a 13-person team. I streamlined coordination across accounting, controlling and operations, reducing the month-end close from 10 days to 5.

At Pladis Romania, I oversaw financial operations across Romania and Eastern Europe, managed a €30M regional budget, and improved working capital by 5%. I also analyzed product costs and profitability and evaluated production-line CAPEX.

Across finance roles at ETI European Food Industries SA, ETI Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Vaillant Group, and Hoechst Marion Roussel / PharmaVision, I worked on budgeting, reporting, costing and investment analysis. At Vaillant Group, I reduced product costs by 12%; at ETI Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., I increased forecast accuracy by 7%.
