Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am a chartered accountant with 17 years of experience, including some at EY in advisory. I have a dual expertise and consulting background, with a strong DNA for financial steering, transformation of the finance function, and project management. I currently support SMEs, mid-cap companies, and large groups – primarily in the medical, energy, fashion, and insurance (brokerage and mutual insurance) sectors – as a financial mentor and co-pilot, with a 360°, demanding, benevolent, and solution-oriented approach.
