Eleni Petsomichou

Senior Financial Controller – Budgeting & Costing Section
Athens

Summary

As a Senior Financial Controller specializing in Budgeting and Costing, I have developed a robust expertise in financial management and digital transformation within complex, multinational environments.

My role at IPTO has been pivotal in controlling and optimizing the organization’s budget, spearheading the restructuring of financial processes, and ensuring seamless financial reporting and consolidation across multiple entities.

I have successfully led the implementation of SAP S/4HANA, driving the digital transformation agenda and facilitating cross-functional collaboration to enhance operational efficiency. My experience includes managing intercompany eliminations for group consolidation, supervising junior teams to achieve high-quality deliverables, and leading cost optimization initiatives through advanced data analysis and reporting systems.

My leadership in retooling accounting processes during the SAP migration has ensured a smooth transition, positioning the organization for sustained financial success.

I thrive in dynamic environments where innovation and continuous improvement are valued. With a strategic mindset and a hands-on approach, I excel in challenging the status quo and implementing harmonized processes that drive business performance.

My background makes me well-suited to take on the role of Sales & Marketing Controller South West and Digital Transformation, where I can contribute to regional consolidation, process harmonization, and the successful deployment of transformative initiatives.
