Résumé
I have 22 years of experience in various finance positions (from General Ledger to Pricing!). My positions were always for US or international companies and I had responsibilities over Europe or Asia.
My management and team members describe me as positive and committed. I'm passionate about customer. I always strive for excellence. I'm analytical and a life long learner. I bring strategic focus and, at the same time, I'm short term and result oriented. Last but not least I have a true passion for team coaching.
My last position was CFO of Pizza Hut for Europe. I've just relocated to Minnesota. and I'm looking for a senior position in finance which will allow me to leverage my skills and experiences.
