Mountain View, California, United States
I'm a Finance Analyst with 4 years of experience and a proven track record across strategic business planning, FP&A, capital investment, and financial governance. The breadth of my experience spans diverse sectors: energy and utility, professional services and audit, luxury retail and FMCG, and private investment, which uniquely positions me to connect the dots between different financial worlds. My career is defined by a common thread: translating complex, multi-million dollar data sets into actionable executive strategy. From helping shape $1.5B business plans in the energy sector to auditing $500M+ in financial services, I have built a reputation for combining technical rigor with operational agility. I don’t just report on the numbers—I leverage them to drive efficiency, identify cost savings, and secure critical board-level approvals. I thrive in collaborative environments, bringing creativity, problem-solving skills, meticulous research, and in-depth financial analysis to drive meaningful business impact. I look forward to growing in roles involving Corporate Finance, Business Strategy, Financial Risk, or Consulting. Always eager to embrace new challenges, learn from industry leaders, and excited to connect with like-minded professionals and explore opportunities that align with my expertise and aspirations.
Helped shape EWEC's long-term finance strategy towards a more efficient and sustainable utility sector. I was a core contributor to the financial strategy that aligned $1.5B in long-term spending with critical energy mandates. By implementing Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) and partnering with cross-functional directorates, I moved the organization toward a more disciplined fiscal model, improving forecast accuracy by 12%. My leadership extended into capital strategy, where I engineered financial frameworks for $4B in assets. Using ROI-focused scenario planning, I secured critical approvals for high-impact projects and established benchmarking across 10+ units to ensure departmental budgets remained lean and targeted. I co-led a digital transformation that overhauled our reporting infrastructure. By rolling out a cloud-based planning system and automating Power BI dashboards, I reduced cycle times by 20% and eliminated 96 hours of manual work annually. This shift allowed me to focus on high-level governance, where I identified $500K+ in cost savings and delivered over 15 board-level presentations that translated complex data into actionable executive strategy.
Worked on safeguarding the financial integrity of global institutions. I served as a strategic anchor for the audit of high-stakes financial services clients, reviewing the integrity of over $500M in assets. I drove operational value by leading the execution for 10+ major clients, where I improved audit cycle efficiency by 15% through rigorous adherence to EY’s global methodology. My expertise was centered on ensuring absolute financial transparency under IFRS and ISA standards. I specialized in deconstructing complex reconciliations and variance analyses to pinpoint anomalies within income statements and balance sheets. This technical rigor allowed me to move from a "reviewer" to a "consultant" role—evaluating internal controls and recommending process enhancements that bolstered both compliance and bottom-line efficiency. Leading at this level required high-touch stakeholder management. I acted as the primary liaison for 10+ client executives, navigating complex discrepancies and presenting audit findings that provided actionable insights. By bridging the gap between technical audit requirements and business process improvements, I ensured that our clients didn't just meet regulatory standards but emerged with stronger, more efficient financial operations.
