My role was to manage key financial processes: closing, monthly forecasting and annual budget planning in collaboration with plant controllers. I was responsible to provide financial analysis for the plant cluster of the Netherland, Norway and Sweden on production and warehouse cost.

I contributed to achieve defined stock target at store level for EMEA region by engaging in forecast accuracy, guiding winter and summer sales, analyse sale impact at product category level, and devising pragmatic plans to recommend stock transfer.

My responsibility was to make sure we achieved the required financial KPIs by partnering with the Merchandising teams (Levi’s and Dockers). More specifically, I assisted the VP Product on setting the following season financial targets, partnered with the Merchandising teams to plan next season’s product range and reported financial performance at key product developments milestones to the Executive Team.

My main focus was to participate to key financial processes: closing, monthly forecasting, quarterly business reviewing and annual budget planning. On top of participating to financial processes I had to prepare financial performance analysis on key business drivers and to provide value-added financial information to the business partners in order to support them in their management decisions.
