About

As a versatile analytical professional and out-of-the-box thinker I enjoy working on complex tasks and projects to improve the financial planning and analytical workspace of an organization. Working in retail companies for more than 10 years, I have developed a commercial and holistic mindset to improve business operations in alignment with strategic plans and shareholder expectations. My previous employers have described me as being able to work under pressure while remaining highly flexible and committed to quality. In my spare time, I enjoy running, skiing and traveling
