Erica Withaar
Financial Consultant – Travel & Expense Management @ Suzano
About
I am a proactive, results-driven professional with over 20 years of experience in travel consulting, including 8 years of expertise in Travel & Expense management, with more than 2 years as the T&E leader. I have an MBA in Business Management and Leadership, a postgraduate degree in People Management and a bachelor's degree in Tourism. I also have advanced English and dual Brazilian and Dutch citizenship. My mission is to simplify procedures, ensuring savings and compliance, as well as promoting employee satisfaction. Our team has reached significant agreements with suppliers, reflecting directly on the control of the travel budget. I excel at implementing TMC and integrated systems, such as Concur SAP Travel & Expense, and conducting audits and compliance. With skills in data analysis, negotiation and team management, I continually look for opportunities to improve corporate travel experiences. My approach is based on effective communication, proactivity and ethics, qualities that allow me to lead with excellence and adapt to different working environments. I can work effectively from home or in the office. I am also available to travel for work and relocate to another country or city if needed.
