Jack Grimonprez

Finance Professional

Summary

I am a multilingual finance professional with an international mindset. During 6 years of managing projects with increasing size, responsibility and direct reports, I developed the required technical skills to be a good controller. Working abroad in challenging working conditions (different cultures, joint ventures and African governments) has enabled me to form strong relationships, communicate effectively and be diplomatic.
