About Mr

Senior controller with 8 years of experience, I am involved in financial steering, management process structuring, and decision-making tool optimization.

I support financial, business, and IT departments on budget, forecast, closing, reporting, data reliability, and steering improvements in complex and multi-entity environments.

My positioning is based on a dual Finance + Data / IT skill set, which allows me to:

- analyze and structure business needs,
- define indicators and management rules,
- improve or evolve reporting tools,
- and support teams in adopting new systems.
I have worked on scopes up to €700 million, managed high-stakes data reliability initiatives, significantly reduced closing times through automation, and designed decision-making tools using Power BI, Cognos, SAP BO, and Excel/VBA.

I am particularly involved in:

budgetary steering and performance,
consolidation and data reliability,
design of reporting and dashboards,
IT / BI Business Analysis,
harmonization of management practices in multi-entity environments,
change management and user support.
My objective in an assignment: to make steering more reliable, more understandable, and more useful for decision-making, with rapidly visible results.
