Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With 6 years of experience in corporate finance and transactions, I have supported executives of VSEs/SMEs, scale-ups, and startups in their financial structuring, deal execution, and value creation management. I have contributed to over 15 LBO and refinancing operations (€3–200 million), optimizing capital structure and the bankability of growth plans.

Today, I work closely with management teams to structure business models, manage financial performance, strengthen KPI monitoring, and ensure reliable investment decisions. I also wish to take on a more operational role, directly supporting CEOs in implementing their business priorities and executing growth plans. I prepare strategic management and governance materials (financial models, budgets & forecasts, KPI dashboards, board materials) and coordinate the operational projects that are crucial for achieving objectives.

My clients value my ability to clarify financial issues, secure execution, and transform strategic ambitions into actionable plans. I adopt an approach that combines analytical rigor, business acumen, and precise communication with key stakeholders.
