Acerca de Benjamin

I turn financial complexity into business decisions that move the needle.

12+ years as Controller and FP&A Director across Beiersdorf, P&G, Renault, and Microsoft — managing P&Ls up to €500M, delivering cost savings in the millions, and building BI systems that give leadership real visibility.

I work with mid-size companies that need senior financial firepower without a full-time CFO: sharp forecasting, rigorous cost control, and a business partner who speaks the language of GMs and boards.
