Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Financial Director for over 20 years within major international groups, I have supported these groups as a project manager for the implementation of new ERPs, the creation of shared service centers in accounting and taxation. I have also successfully led company consolidations (mergers/acquisitions) as well as company buyouts or sales. Furthermore, I participated in the transfer of tertiary sites by developing the new site and negotiating the new lease.

I therefore have a wide range of skills, from maintaining accounting records and reporting to managing major structuring projects for the company in line with its strategy.
