• Drive automation and efficiency in reporting and forecasting processes.
• Establish scalable processes for financial oversight as the organization grows in complexity and geographic scope.

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Champion a culture of continuous improvement, accountability, and data literacy across finance and adjacent functions through training, documentation, and streamlined workflows.
