Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Arthur
With over 11 years of successful experience in two demanding sectors, luxury (Hermès) and automotive (Valeo), primarily in industrial and operational contexts, I now undertake interim management assignments in Finance.
My expertise in Industrial Management Control, combined with a strong sensitivity to information systems (e.g., SAP, M3, Magnitude, etc.), enables me to support companies in various Management Control challenges to aim for optimal financial and operational steering.
As an Interim Manager and valuing client satisfaction, I intervene with a pragmatic, results-oriented approach, providing concrete and operational solutions.
My ability to structure teams (e.g., managing 11 people in my last position as Director of Management Control at Hermès) and to work under pressure in an often complex international environment allows for rapid integration into different structures.
You will find below the main services offered:
- Interim management for positions of Director of Management Control, Head of Management Control, or Management Controller;
- Strategic support and steering assistance;
- Implementation of financial reporting such as: income statements, dashboards, performance indicators (KPIs);
- Financial optimization: budget optimization, working capital requirement management, implementation and/or validation of cost of goods sold and profit margins per product;
- Financial and IT project management (e.g., ERP migration).
Looking forward to discussing with you!
NB: I am geographically mobile (possibility to work in person and outside the Paris region).
