About

With 6 years of experience in business performance, FP&A, and transformation initiatives, I have developed strong expertise in financial planning, performance analysis, and operational optimisation within international environments. Throughout my career, I have built a solid foundation in data-driven decision-making, combining analytical rigor with a strategic business mindset. Currently, I lead end-to-end client projects at Abacum, driving forecasting processes, performance tracking, and process improvements. I have hands-on experience designing KPI frameworks, streamlining operations, and enhancing reporting capabilities to improve visibility and support more effective decision-making. My role also involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams, ensuring alignment between finance, operations, and data. My experience includes leading transformation initiatives, improving operational efficiency, and supporting strategic planning across different organisations. I have worked on projects ranging from performance analysis and reporting optimisation to system implementations and process standardisation, always focused on delivering measurable business impact. I am committed to driving business performance through structured problem-solving, data-driven insights, and continuous improvement, contributing to scalable and efficient ways of working.
