About

Professional summary

I am a project management professional and economist with experience delivering strategic initiatives, business operations improvements, and complex cross-functional projects in large financial institutions.

I have led project planning and execution across business, technology, risk, compliance, and operations teams. My work includes timeline, dependency, budget, KPI, risk, issue, and executive reporting management.

At Santander Brasil, I supported strategic transformation initiatives including a cross-border core-banking migration, financial-crime process standardization, billing redesign, and mortgage-credit process improvement. These initiatives delivered measurable reductions in manual work, processing time, and customer turnaround time.

I also bring product and customer-focused experience, using performance data, stakeholder feedback, and customer interviews to identify opportunities and improve banking products and processes.

My earlier investment banking operations experience at J.P. Morgan strengthened my analytical, documentation, compliance, and transaction-support capabilities across M&A, ECM, DCM, and corporate services activities.

I am currently preparing for the PMP certification and seeking global opportunities where I can contribute structured execution, stakeholder alignment, process improvement, and cross-cultural collaboration.
