Description

+12 years experiences in various industries: Financial Services, FMCG, Life Sciences.

With a strong background in Finance & Accounting (i.e. Big 4 Audit) and as well in Business Operations/Processes (i.e. internal audit for large multinational), I have built, over the last couple of years, a significant expertise in Treasury Management.

With my proven experience in treasury operations of large corporates, and exposure to various working capital management tools & financing instruments, I have demonstrated success in developing and implementing treasury operations strategies. Additionally, I have a strong understanding of financial instruments, banking regulations.

I am confident that with my experience navigating diverse financial landscapes, executing various financing transactions, and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams, I would be able to use all those different aspects of myself, and with other different people, to complete your objectives/goals
