Celia Goncalves Email & Phone Number

Since my college times, I was always very excited with numbers, and they always have seemed to “talk to me”, I believe that this was also a consequence of some events on my private life that made me grow faster in responsibility and financial awareness. Today, I’m a Finance Director, working for an international company and still have the initial excitement of the discovery of the significance of numbers. With more than 20 years of experience in the financial industry, most part of it, in an international environment, working with US and NL teams. I’ve helped the local company to grow the EBITDA more than 16M€ and achieve a revenue of 60M€. During last year, I was able to complete with success very important bank financing projects, that will support the growth of the company, as well negotiate 2 investment programs with the governmental entities achieving 35M€ and grants of more than 15M€. During the last years I’ve been discovering and developing a new interest and talent for general management, people management/development, also because and I consider having a strong vision and a can-do mentality. This helped me to have an important contribution to the (financial) strategy supporting the growth of the organization.I’m have a strong customer focus and have service oriented, extensive experience in IT development and implementation, as well executional certainty as action drivers. I'm skilled in critical thinking and problem solving helping my peers and colleagues to find the best solutions for the daily challenges. Love work on challenging and rewarding projects that support the company in achieving the goals, within the finance objectives, and complying with internal polices and processes as well all the regulatory requirements as well.
