Robin Slump is currently working as a Business Intelligence Specialist at Attero. Over seven years ago, while working as a Financial Controller, I was introduced to Board when it was first implemented at Attero. My enthusiasm for the platform led me to work as a Board Consultant at a Board Partner for several years, where I further developed my expertise.
More than three years ago, I returned to Attero to join our Business Intelligence Center, focusing full-time on leveraging Board to drive business insights and solutions.
Last year, we successfully completed a major project to implement an Integrated Business Planning in Board and began exploring ESRS in Board. Our next big project will focus on upgrading to Board 14 and implementing GCR as a replacement for our current BFC solution.
Kevin Kowalski is a Solution Architect at Board, having joined the company as a Principal Consultant in Paris during the height of the Covid lockdown in 2020. (A heartfelt thank you to the HR team and Board France for their trust and confidence!)
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to nearly all Board projects in France, working on applications of varying scales—from small projects serving just a few users to large-scale solutions supporting thousands. I am passionate about delivering meaningful results by applying my functional and technical expertise, while also empowering partners and clients to strengthen their own capabilities.
Before joining Board, I worked for a US/Canadian EPM software company based in London. In this role, I specialized in implementing Tax Reporting and EPM solutions, with a focus on FP&A, HR, S&OP, CAPEX, and Transfer Pricing for clients across the US and EMEA regions.
In the early stages of my career in Corporate Finance, I worked as an Internal Auditor and later as a Controller for a leading Oil & Gas company. This journey allowed me to live and work in various countries, including China, Malaysia, Singapore, and the UK, spending over eight years abroad. These international experiences have greatly enriched my perspective and continue to influence and inspire my work.
