  I lead strategic financial planning and forecasting by managing the Annual Operating Plans (AOP), Long Range Plans (LRP), and Short Range Plans, collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop accurate financial projections aligned with corporate goals. My efforts have supported the flagship profit center, achieving the highest Revenue Market Share, Customer Market Share, Topline, and EBITDA margin. I oversee Profit & Loss (P&L) management for multiple business units, implementing cost control strategies and conducting variance analysis to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for optimization. Additionally, I develop complex financial models to evaluate business performance and support decision-making for M&A activities, capital investments, and revenue forecasting. I drive profitability analysis across business lines, collaborate with sales and operations teams to enhance revenue streams, and benchmark financial performance against competitors. My role includes preparing timely financial reports, leading business reviews with senior executives, and ensuring compliance with internal and external regulations. I foster a high-performing financial planning and analysis team, mentoring junior professionals and setting clear objectives for success. Moreover, I identify financial risks and opportunities, implement robust risk management strategies, and oversee Capex and Opex planning to ensure effective resource allocation and support long-term operational objectives.
