About Mary Broz
With over 20 years at Microsoft, I am a seasoned finance professional known for driving operational excellence and business enablement. My expertise spans Finance Operations, Project Management, Treasury, IT, and People Management, with a consistent track record of identifying business needs and implementing effective solutions. Key Highlights: Managed over $1 billion in annual outbound royalty payments, achieving a $300K annual financial benefit through efficient cash management and reporting. Drove cross-group collaboration and master data analysis efficiencies, saving 10% of operational processing time each quarter. Effectively addressed and convinced an audit firm to nullify a $0.5 billion royalty audit finding, resulting in substantial cost savings and enhanced partner confidence. Led payment, tax, and trade business workstreams in the Global Payout Transformation Project, improving efficiency for over $15 billion in payments. Developed essential user communications and training materials, boosting user adoption and accuracy for over users of the Mercury financial reporting system. Transformed data governance program enhancements, increasing accuracy of financial forecasting and revenue reporting for Surface Devices, leading to $5 billion in sales. Championed the SAP In-House Cash Center project, reducing subsidiary commission payments by 60% and gaining 4% on short-term cash investments. I am committed to fostering a growth mindset, enhancing cross-functional team collaboration, and maintaining positive working relationships. My leadership skills in business relationship management, cross-functional team leadership, and decision-making complement my technical and professional skills in project management, operational excellence, and business enablement.
