Head Of FP&A | Controlling
Istanbul/ Fenerbahce
Summary
Finance expert with a rich and diverse 12-year. My career began at KPMG, where I delved into the intricacies of auditing for close to 3 years, fostering a keen eye for detail and precision. Transitioning to a significant holding company, I assumed the role of Financial Reporting and Consolidation Supervisor, gaining valuable insights into the complexities of financial reporting within a large-scale corporate setting.
My passion for the retail industry led me to the esteemed Boyner Group, where I thrived as a Budget Reporting Manager, contributing to the financial strategy of one of Turkey's most prominent retail companies. Currently, as the Head of FP&A and Controlling Manager at Hummel, I have had the privilege of steering financial operations and strategic decision-making for the past 5 years.
Drawing from my extensive experience, I have honed my expertise in financial planning, analysis, and control, allowing me to make pivotal contributions to the sustainable growth and success of the organizations I have been part of. I thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments, and am dedicated to delivering impactful results and fostering financial excellence."
