I am a strategic finance leader with 18+ years of experience in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP & A), global consolidation, and business finance within the pharmaceutical industry. I specialize in transforming financial data into actionable insights that enable leadership teams to drive performance, profitability, and long-term growth.Over the course of my career, I have led enterprise-wide budgeting, forecasting (AOP), and long-range planning processes, partnering closely with business and regional leaders to align financial strategies with organizational goals.
