About

FP&A / Management Control profile with international and industrial exposure, currently working as a Management Controller at TotalEnergies within a full-time V.I.E assignment. I have built my professional path through hands-on experience in complex, operational and international environments, which has allowed me to develop a strong ability to adapt quickly, connect different perspectives, and operate effectively across functions. My experience covers management control, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and performance analysis, with regular interaction between finance, operational and IT teams. Working within a large international group has strengthened my interest in data-driven decision-making, financial performance steering and strategy-oriented decision support. Earlier in my career, I founded and managed a small automotive cleaning business, gaining practical exposure to entrepreneurship, client-facing activities and operational problem-solving. This experience shaped a pragmatic and execution-oriented approach to business. I am particularly interested in FP&A, management control or strategy-oriented roles within large, international organizations, where financial analysis supports operational and strategic decision-making.
