The common thread in my professional career is bridging the gap between finance and IT. I am not a hardcore financial or techie, but I am rather the link between the two worlds. As such, I am a valued sparring partner for both the controller and the IT manager, and I am able to bring these worlds together. In both areas I have a deep understanding of the full scope, but I also know when it is necessary to involve a specialist. I listen carefully and know how to ask the right questions at the right times. My biggest strength lies in making complex issues more manageable and practical.My professional focus is on planning & control where the management of the organization is central. Specific areas of expertise are performance management, financial consolidation, driver-based planning & forecasting, budgeting, cost allocation and management accounting. In realizing solutions for my clients, I have a comprehensive approach, in which processes, people and tools play a significant role. In my daily work as a consultant I am involved in creating pragmatic and workable company-wide solutions for planning, consolidation and reporting using CPM & BI tool Board.
