Über mich
For as long as i remember i always had a passion for numbers. It is fascinating the way you can translate real life events into mere figures then generate insights and a course of actions. Following the completion of a bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance i had the chance to start off my career in Philip Morris (Senegal affiliate) as an accountant. At this position, i practiced and harnessed my knowledge of ERP tools such as SAP, financial analysis, reporting and negotiation abilities as i dealt with vendors as well. A promotion to the Internal controls department, having in charge a few markets, acquainted me with risk assessments, helped me acquire and confirm process audit and control skills. Rich of that background, i experienced team management and discovered my preferred management style. I value good ethic, knowledge and skills building, collaboration and teamwork, empowerment, and empathy towards colleagues.
