About
I’m a finance executive passionate about turning challenges into tangible results. Specialized in M&A, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), business integration, and strategic initiatives, with extensive experience in dynamic, complex, and constantly evolving environments. My leadership is guided by real achievements, people development, and relationships built on transparency. I believe financial leadership goes beyond the numbers—it's about vision, collaboration, and the ability to drive the business toward its next growth cycle. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with mid-sized and large companies during periods of rapid expansion, contributing to business growth and the professionalization of management. My academic background in Business and Law provides a broad perspective, integrating financial, legal, and strategic aspects consistently. I have experience leading high-complexity projects involving multiple areas, cultures, and stakeholders, always focused on value creation, efficiency, and long-term sustainability. I value collaborative environments with a clear purpose and room for innovation with responsibility. If your company is undergoing transformation and looking for a strategic financial partner to lead this journey with consistency and impact, I’d be glad to connect. I'm open to conversations with those who believe financial leadership can be a real lever for business success.
