Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise

I lead global finance operations for a €500M+ revenue group spread across 40+ countries with around 2,000 employees. I manage a team of 50+ finance professionals, oversee a remote Finance Shared Services Center, and work closely with executive leadership on strategy, M&A, and investment decisions, while making sure we are compliant and financially sound. Some of my key achievements include: • Achieved positive operating cash flow by reducing operating working capital by 40%. • Delivered the highest Net Income in over a decade (2024). • Drove strategic alignment and strengthened collaboration between executives, board members, and Chinese shareholders as a key member of the Executive Management Team and Board of Directors at Sipwise GmbH.
