Introduction
Passionate about cultural diversity, I have naturally oriented my career toward international environments, where I have developed strong professional fluency in English and French, in addition to my native language. Graduated from the FAME track (Finance, Accounting, Management & Economics) at emlyon business school, I strengthened my skills in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), corporate finance, internal audit, and performance analysis, while developing a global and strategic vision of business. My professional experience across various sectors — financial services and industry — has allowed me to work on complex topics such as budgeting, regulatory reporting (IFRS 17, Solvency II), and financial performance management, in close collaboration with finance departments and project teams. Having worked in demanding environments, I have developed a solid command of financial and ERP tools (SAP, Oracle, Sage, Anaplan, Power BI, Advanced Excel), as well as an analytical mindset reinforced by my FMVA® and BIDA® certifications in financial modeling and data analysis. I am currently enhancing my profile with a professional certification in SAP S/4HANA FI/CO, covering FI (GL, AP, AR, Assets) and CO (CCA, PCA, IO) modules, along with Fiori and SAP GUI. This enables me to combine a strong Finance / IT dual expertise, bridging accounting and performance management processes with a solid understanding of SAP environments and project methodologies (ASAP, Activate). 🎯 Career Objective: • Leverage my Finance / SAP dual background to contribute to digital transformation projects within finance functions. • Grow into a finance role where ERP and data-driven insights enhance strategic decision-making. • Ultimately, evolve as a consultant or finance leader in an international and collaborative environment.
