About

I am a Finance & Operations professional with hands-on experience in financial reporting, KPI tracking, and cross-functional coordination at Mercedes-Benz Mobility. My work has focused on building reliable reporting processes, improving data accuracy, and supporting monthly closing activities across multiple entities. I enjoy creating structure, simplifying workflows, and turning complex data into clear insights that help teams make better decisions. In addition to my finance experience, I have supported people operations through onboarding, interview coordination, and program facilitation during my HR internship at Shell. This combination of financial rigor and operational coordination has given me a strong foundation in process ownership, stakeholder communication, and disciplined execution. I work best in environments where accuracy, clarity, and collaboration matter. I bring advanced skills in Excel, TM1, KPI reporting, and workflow optimization, along with a strong interest in sustainable business practices developed through my master’s thesis on ESG-driven investment. I’m currently seeking opportunities in Finance, Operations, Strategy, or hybrid roles where I can contribute to structured reporting, operational efficiency, and cross-functional alignment.
