10+About
I am a finance professional with 10 years of experience specializing in audit, controlling, and financial planning and analysis (FP&A). My career has been marked by a strong focus on understanding and simplifying financial processes, adapting to dynamic business environments, and consistently delivering high-quality results. I have held various roles at Baxter International, where I currently lead the FP&A team for the Kidney Care segment in the EMEA region. My responsibilities include managing commercial P&L planning and forecasting, coordinating results reviews, and supporting process transformation initiatives. In my previous roles at Baxter, I also played a key role in global consolidation efforts and process standardization across multiple regions. Prior to my tenure at Baxter, I served as a Finance Manager for The Kraft Heinz Company in Poland, where I managed financial controlling, statutory reporting, and the implementation of solutions to improve internal controls. My early career began at PwC, where I gained extensive audit experience, working on financial statements under Polish GAAP and IFRS, and leading audit teams. I hold a Master's and Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Finance from the SGH Warsaw School of Economics. My proficiency in English, Polish, and basic knowledge of German and Japanese further complements my ability to work in diverse, international environments.Tech Stack
