I am a numbers person with a hands-on approach who hasn't lost the sense of wonder. I am used to getting up to speed quickly and on my own initiative in unfamiliar areas of work. A strong analytical and business understanding, excellent know-how in SAP, Excel, PowerPoint and Access, as well as experience with BI tools (Qlik, Power BI), round off my profile.
