Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am a chartered accountant with 17 years of experience, including time at EY in advisory. I have a dual expertise and consulting background, with a strong focus on 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 co-pilot, with a 360° approach that is demanding, supportive, and solution-oriented.

I am also capable of supporting companies during transition periods in post-deal situations (TSA and Carve out).
