Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in finance, business intelligence, and management, leveraging my expertise in advanced programming tools and techniques. As a Finance Manager at Laboratoires Expanscience Polska, I work closely with the General Manager to support strategic decision-making and operational efficiency. My responsibilities include budgeting, planning, and controlling financial activities across the subsidiary, utilizing tools like Excel, SQL, and Python to analyze and report on key financial metrics. I also manage working capital and cash flow, oversee supply chain and stock management, and administer IT and CRM systems, all while leading a team to achieve our financial goals. In previous roles, such as Financial Controller at OTIS and Internal Auditor at Telekomunikacja Polska, I gained extensive experience in financial planning, analysis, and internal control. I have managed financial reporting under USGAAP, conducted statutory audits, and implemented process improvements in line with SOX standards. My early career as a chemist in a quality control laboratory and as an auditor provided me with a diverse skill set that I have continued to build upon. I hold certifications in internal auditing and accounting, and I am proficient in multiple languages, including English, French, and Polish. My diverse background enables me to approach challenges from a unique perspective, integrating financial expertise with advanced technical skills.Tech Stack
