With all the skills of a Senior Financial Controller gained in 11+ years of Planning & Reporting and Operations Controlling, I am an experienced professional with a track record of delivery in complex international matrix companies (Continental Automotive (€40Bn Revenue) and Vitesco Technologies (€8Bn Revenue)). In addition to my technical abilities (managing forecasts, budgets, actual progress and closing, cost control, financial analysis plus many more) my experience in automotive, new technology, high value-added manufacturing, financial services and electronics has enabled me to leverage knowledge from many situations to create innovative solutions. During my professional experience I have demonstrated the ability to build business relationships at all levels which has enabled me to work with senior stakeholders as well as to have successful collaboration with cross-function key player (SCM, Production, R&D, HR). I am as at home solving complex financial budget problems as I am understanding and discussing complex business topics with non-financial professionals in order to present a clear and transparent picture to top managers.
