Zusammenfassung

I am a Finance professional skilled in corporate finance, deal advisory, FP&A, and mergers and acquisitions across diverse sectors. My expertise lies in financial due diligence, the supreme discipline in finance, in which I determine the sustainable earnings of a business and examine the accounting accuracy of P&L, BS and CF to derive a company's equity value and give guidance on business plans. I am skilled in financial planning & analysis, integrative financial modelling, and optimising data quality through standardised processes. With a proven track record in strategic planning, management reporting, and fostering cross-functional collaborations, I excel in delivering innovative solutions that align with commercial objectives. I have worked on more than 20 financial due diligence projects, ranging from $3m to $19b deal value. During my time as Team Lead Corporate Controlling at IU Group, Germany's largest private university, I led seven direct reports and managed the group's $2b rollover transaction.
