What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead financial planning, performance reporting, forecasting, and automation initiatives that help senior leaders make better commercial, operational, and investment decisions.

At Cyncly, I partner with sales leadership and operational teams to deliver financial reporting, performance analysis, budgeting, rolling forecasts, and commercial insights across products and group business lines.

Previously at BNP Paribas CIB, I led reporting, KPI dashboards, CAPEX and OPEX planning, and planning-process automation, improving monthly reporting timeliness by 25%. I also managed and developed a multidisciplinary team of analysts and BI specialists.

My earlier work at Economico Bank and Deloitte covered project finance, valuation, fundraising, financial due diligence, risk assessment, financial strategy, operations, and cost reduction. I work across financial modelling, Power BI, SAP, Hyperion EPM, NetSuite, IFRS, and US GAAP.
