“This is a major move for finance”
The digitalization of services affects everyone at Solvay. In our Finance department, Gilles led the Controlling Platform project which leverages digital technologies for Solvay’s financial reports. “I’m here to make sure that the project objectives are shared and understood and that we have a solid plan to reach them,” he explains. “I connect with stakeholders, provide support and advice, and I’m directly involved in recruitment and dashboard design.”
The Controlling Platform project wasn’t easy to manage during the COVID pandemic, but Gilles and his team came through. “Most of us could only connect virtually and I’m amazed that we were able to achieve so much in such a challenging context. We really made a huge step forward in terms of digitalization and standardization of our processes,” he says.
As far as his own skills are concerned, Gilles says he strongly improved his capability to work with a team, brainstorm and innovate.
