ABOUT JULIA KREFT
I am leading Finance Transformation with a clear goal: make global finance functions faster, smarter, and more impactful.As Head of Finance Transformation & Processes at Syntegon, I drive global initiatives to optimize processes, integrate automation and embed data-driven decision-making across Finance & Controlling. I am leading a team with a strong focus on capability building, coaching, and long-term development — because transformation only works when people grow with it.My journey started with a Master degree in Accounting & Finance from the University of St. Gallen (M.A. HSG). From there, I dove into the fast-paced world of FMCG at Procter & Gamble, where I learned the operational heartbeat of finance at scale. Later, I switched perspectives and joined Horváth as a Managing Consultant, helping clients across industries solve complex finance and controlling challenges — from project management to strategic transformation.What drives me? Turning complexity into clarity. Building resilient, future-ready finance functions. And empowering teams to lead change, not just manage it. I believe Finance should be a strategic partner - not just a scorekeeper.
