Description

Senior finance professional with 17 years of hands-on FP&A, controlling and business partnering experience across four industries — FMCG (3M), telecom (Telenet/Liberty Global), metals and mining (Nyrstar), and independent consulting. CFA Charterholder (2020) with an MSc from Erasmus Rotterdam School of Management.

I specialise in budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and management reporting. I build dashboards and automate reporting using Power BI, Power Query and advanced Excel. I work fluently in SAP FI/CO/MM and Oracle PBCS/FCCS. I have managed month-end close processes, coordinated quarterly re-forecasts, and delivered monthly management packs with root-cause commentary throughout my career.

What sets me apart is speed of integration. I have changed industries four times and each time became fully productive within weeks — because I focus on understanding the business model first and let the technical detail follow. I bring the same approach to interim assignments: fast ramp-up, immediate delivery, no hand-holding required.

Currently coaching FP&A professionals at Maastricht University School of Business and Economics, which keeps my skills sharp and my methods current. Available for interim and project-based assignments through BGAMAN SERVICES BV.
