At Electronic Arts, I own Close Packs and Estimate Packs for Asia Publishing and Emerging Markets, with P&L insights and variance analysis across revenue models, titles, geographies, and platforms. I also lead outlook reporting for Asia titles and prepare executive forecast and close updates.

Across Adenza / NASDAQ, Finastra, PepsiCo, and Deloitte, I worked on budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, and business planning. I’ve developed financial models and dashboards, automated recurring reporting with Power BI and SQL, and currently manage and mentor a team of 3-4 analysts.
