• Lead regular currency and hedge-result reviews with business partners and senior leadership and provide training and educational materials to strengthen understanding of currency and hedging principles across DePuy Synthes.
• Lead the design, build, testing and deployment of a replacement tool to support currency calculations, hedging, analytics and reporting, and oversee its ongoing maintenance and enhancement.
• Drive standardized and efficient processes through automation and analytics tools, including Power BI and Alteryx.
• Partner across DSPO, Treasury, Tax, FP&A, Technology and Project Osprey teams to stand up the Currency Management team and ensure continuity of critical activities through separation.
