I support our clients across various industry sectors in driving holistic finance transformations at the critical intersection of business strategy and technology. My primary focus lies in establishing AI-powered cloud planning and reporting solutions, utilizing state-of-the-art platforms like SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and Datasphere. I help organizations unlock the "second wave" of business value following their NextGen ERP implementations. Acting as a trusted advisor to the CFO organization, I enable companies to deploy modern corporate performance management systems that seamlessly integrate financial metrics with non-financial performance indicators, such as external and ESG metrics.

In my daily work, I combine conceptual finance excellence with end-to-end technological execution. My ultimate goal is to equip CFOs with the agile, data-driven tools required to confidently navigate complex future market trends.

I joined BearingPoint at the beginning of 2014. Since then, I have successfully scaled complex transformation programs, designed market-leading service offerings such as "Planning & Reporting beyond S/4HANA", and actively shaped our firm-wide Planning & Performance Management community. This journey has deeply anchored my passion for entrepreneurial leadership and technological innovation within the CFO domain.
