Description

A Finance Operations professional transitioning into Business and BI Analysis, with over 10 years of experience turning complex data into actionable insights and eliminating manual processes across insurance, SaaS, and subscription environments.

I specialize in bridging the gap between finance departments and IT. By combining a deep understanding of financial accounting (Dutch GAAP, Solvency II, variance analysis) with advanced technical capabilities, I help companies escape "Excel hell" and build scalable, automated reporting infrastructures. I have a proven track record of repeatedly cutting multi-hour workflows to under 30 minutes through redesigning models, building SQL integrations, and automating multi-source consolidations.

Working seamlessly across English and Dutch, I partner with European businesses to streamline their data, build comprehensive market intelligence systems, and deliver executive-ready analytics.
