  • PACCOR
    Senior Controller
    October 2021 - February 2024 (2 years and 4 months)
    Barcelona, Spain
    I started at Paccor in October 2021 to reset and rebuild a failing controlling department. We had to rebuild the department from scratch to meet the group reporting deadline and be able to provide reliable information to the general manager and directors.

    I was responsible for the group reporting of financial and operational KPIs. During my tenure, we went from constantly asking for extra time to report to reporting on time or ahead of schedule.

    We also implemented a new forecasting model, to be able to provide rolling 1-month, 3-month, and 12-month forecasts to adapt production planning and cash management.

    After a year, I was also asked to manage the company's ERP and data visualization because data quality was the weak link in controlling.

    I self-taught myself the principles of SQL through the internet (W3 schools and Lemur data) to understand our DWH and ERP/MES interactions.

    We went from having a useless data visualization tool (qlikview) to a powerful tool to help decision-making by fixing all the procedures and functions that have been updated in years.
