Description

Freelance Business Analyst & Controller with 8+ years bridging finance, IT and data analysis across industrial and multi-entity environments. I turn inefficient finance operations and fragmented data into streamlined processes and actionable insights — with a short ramp-up and a hands-on approach that sticks.

Pragmatic and hands-on, equally comfortable in a boardroom, an IT sprint, or on an industrial shop floor. Proven team lead (Shared Service Centre build & scale) and trusted interface between finance, IT, operations and external auditors.

At the finance–IT intersection, I translate business requirements into ERP and BI solutions, align accounting with system flows, and deliver FP&A and management reporting that leadership actually uses.
