About me

I am a Finance Manager and FP&A specialist with over 10 years of experience in finance and accounting processes, including more than 3 years focused on financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cost control within multinational telecom and technology environments. Throughout my career, I have developed a proven track record of delivering accurate monthly and quarterly close reports, performing deep variance analysis across Revenue, COS, OPEX, and FCF, and building both short- and long-term financial projections to support strategic decision-making.

I have experience in indirect reporting to senior managers and collaborating cross-functionally across LATAM, which has strengthened my leadership and business partnering skills. My background includes working with Big 4 firms, specifically KPMG, where I honed my expertise in financial risk analysis and IFRS compliance.

I am proficient in various financial systems and tools such as SAP FI/CO, SAP BPC, Advanced Excel, and Power BI, and have led ERP implementation projects. My approach is highly analytical and detail-oriented, with a strong focus on data accuracy and meeting deadlines independently. I am proactive and take ownership of my responsibilities, always aiming to add value through efficiency improvements and cost control.

In my recent roles, I have successfully led budgeting and forecasting cycles for multiple LATAM regions, identified operational cost savings, and redesigned financial reporting processes to improve efficiency. I have also managed complex financial consolidation systems and advised public entities on IFRS implementation, ensuring compliance with international accounting standards.

I am fluent in Spanish and have an upper intermediate level of English, which enables me to work effectively in multinational environments. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, as demonstrated by my recent post-degree certificates in Corporate Management Control and International Financial Accounting (IFRS).
