About

Executive Master in Finance and Control / Register Controller (RC). I'm a results-driven professional with over 12 years of experience in the field of Finance (advisory, FP&A, business & project controlling and accounting across various industries like public, pharma, maritime and energy). I'm skilled in building, transforming and managing an international team across various locations. By creating a modern work environment I'm able to accommodate hybrid working and a self starting and self managing team. Also I have a proven track record of success in implementing and transforming processes to accommodate new requirements and/or efficiencies. As a strategic thinker with strong problem-solving abilities I'm experienced in presenting and advising in Senior Leadership Teams. I am always open for new challenges and opportunities to grow and develop both personally and professionally.
