About Babacar

Senior consultant with 13 years of experience in management control / financial control, I have a dual role as Industrial/Operational Management Controller (on-site) and Corporate / Central Management Controller (headquarters).

I have extensive experience in performance management, budget monitoring, and the implementation and automation of KPIs for activity tracking.

I have carried out several assignments as Head of Management Control for various entities (USA, UK, Spain, France, and Asia).

I have a perfect command of several tools including Excel, BORAD, SAP S/4 HANA, and SmartView, etc., for creating and automating reports, and I am fully operational for working in English, with 2 previous international experiences (in Ireland and England).
