Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for leading teams across financial and digitalization projects, as well as for leveraging automation tools to drive process efficiencies, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. Professional focal points include performance management, data analytics, budget management, reporting processes, technology solutions, client relations, Power BI, and data dashboards. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, as well as analytics acumen, process analysis, project management and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the Team Lead with BASF Services Europe GmbH. Under my leadership, I spearhead operations for a 25-person team charged with executing accounting and finance services that reinforce business processes. I also scrutinize processes and integrate automation via Power Automate and Power BI, alongside champion digitalization tools such as Power platforms, data servers, and related solutions. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure the company’s technological support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, results-focused, analytical, and managerial team performance expert who can be relied on to offer superior project solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.I am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field.
