About

Professional summary

Regional Business Analytics Manager at BASF South America, based in Brazil with regional scope primarily across Argentina and Mexico. My work connects commercial strategy, data architecture and business intelligence. I directly lead a team of business analysts and act as a cross-functional bridge between Data Governance, Engineering, Visualization and Data Science / AI teams — influencing a network of technical specialists to translate business needs into concrete data solutions.

What I do today
— Design and maintain master-data products (account hierarchy, tax IDs, geography, territory management) built on tools like Salesforce and Databricks
— Lead the harmonization of the regional analytics portfolio, aligned with global strategies and local needs
— Design and support the build of intelligent automation agents in Copilot Studio and Power Automate to reduce and improve internal operational times
— Drive the shift from static Power BI dashboards toward dynamic, AI-powered visualization tools
— Act as the link between the business and technical teams to scale use cases across the commercial operation

My path
I started my career as a valuation & finance specialist at EY, then transitioned into data, going on to work in BI/Product squads at Mercado Libre — building data pipelines in BigQuery and visualization solutions in Tableau and Looker for the Mercado Pago business across Spanish-speaking markets. That technical base led me to BASF, where I grew from technical consulting for commercial teams to taking on regional analytics management for Latin America.

What drives me
I believe data only creates value when it reaches the right people, in the right format, with a clear call to action, at the right time. That's why I work as much on data quality as on the experience of whoever consumes it — from the data engineer to the commercial manager. There's always room to innovate, learn and improve in a highly dynamic world.

São Paulo, Brazil · Open to conversations about data, analytics, AI and digital transformation in Latin America.
