Most recently a Commercial Financial Analyst at a large FMCG manufacturer, he has a strong track record in designing and building shared services functions from the ground up, including onboarding four new international markets into a global shared services model and leading the transition to a completely paperless, remote-enabled accounts payable process at a multinational telecommunications infrastructure group. He has managed teams of up to 21 people and taken responsibility for payments exceeding $21 million per month, while consistently focusing on process optimisation, rebate control, and financial modelling.
