As the manager of finance, I lead client operational and commercial divisions and facilitate in the interpretation of financial and accounting policies, procedures, and systems. I had the responsibility to evaluate and improve branch and regional OPEX / CAPEX financial performance. I leveraged my financial insight to incorporate efficient processes for financial management of plans, budgets, and outlooks. Furthermore, I advised in the establishment of financial objectives and guided associated companies to identify economic impact of strategic plan alternatives. I provided critical insight in labour, contracts, sale of services, acquisition, disposal of assets, and other operating and commercial proposals. I have the honour of acting as company's representative at Heathrow Airport's Other Regulated Charges Group and associated Governance Groups. There, I reviewed and challenged HAL's charging / pricing mechanisms on behalf of Air Canada and the wider airport community.Following are a few of my achievements during the tenure:• Accomplished million-dollar cost-savings and increased revenues through financial analysis of several insourcing projects.• Enabled significant reduction to operating budget by conducting ticket tax reviews for all European stations.• Attained substantial repatriation of million-dollar funds from bank accounts in collaboration with treasury.
