Marcelle Finken

Numidia BV

I was born in Roermond (Netherlands) on 5th August 1966 and grew up in a family where
entrepreneurship was daily business.

After high school, in 1990 I started working at Vonk Cheese Factory as account payable employee.

In 1991 I started as financial controller at Vonk Dairy Products (later Interfood Vonk, Interfood), in
which position I picked up HR and IT related tasks. During that time I was given the opportunity to
gain experience in multiple (non)-financial areas (annual reporting, Tax & VAT declarations, change
management).

In 2014 I switched to Numidia, working (again) as a financial controller.

As Numidia was a company in start-up, I got more and more involved in optimization of ERP
applications.

As a result, over the past years I was appointed as project leader for implementation of AX2012 and
D365, gradually changing my role into IT deployment and improvement manager.

Strengths I have further developed during my career are a high level of flexibility, high focus on
achieving results, working in teams, very open way of communication and a “can do” mentality.

In 2023 I graduated for Lean Green Belt.

From a private perspective I am married and have a 22 year old son.

My 3 passions as a common thread through my life are:
– Being a good mother for my sun
– Doing sports (canoeing, skiing)
– Continuously develop myself in my work
