I started my career as an assistant in the accounting unit of the General Secretariat of the Council (GSC). After a few years, I moved to the internal audit service where I analysed all the financial circuits in the house and issued recommendations to promote efficiency gains. In the meantime, being certified, I joined the Buildings and Logistics Directorate as an administrator and picked up the role of Head of Sector leading the budget execution sector. A few years ago, I moved to the IT department, where I now manage a finance team and coordinating all the financial obligations related to the budgetary cycle. Do you still think that Finance is boring?
