Finance Business Partner Spain and Italy

Recently Kramp introduced a new operating model. In order to increase the responsiveness to local market dynamics the company introduced Cluster Management Teams to drive the business in different regions. This transition resulted in the need to reinforce the Business Partner role in finance, shifting increasingly more attention to co-piloting: sitting beside the business and pointing out the dangers or possible shortcuts. Providing valuable information at the right time, enabling the business to make the right decisions.

The Finance Business Partner for Spain and Italy will be the regional ambassador for leading this transition.
