Summary

I have been working as a Controlling and General Manager for 25 years.

Now, I am working as a Head of Controlling department for production company.
During my previous roles I was responsible for overseeing the day to day finance, warehousing and transportation operations.

I want to transfer my skills to a new role and to improve them.
I enjoy working with others to develop situation and strategies.
