About

I developed my understanding of business long before studying it formally. Growing up in a family-owned manufacturing business within the fashion industry exposed me to the full lifecycle of a product, from sourcing and production to pricing, positioning, and customer feedback. That environment shaped how I see strategy as a set of interconnected decisions across operations, finance, and market positioning that ultimately drive growth. Building on a foundation in Finance and Economics, I recently completed my Master’s in Management at Cornell University, expanding my perspective through coursework in Brand Management, Consumer Behavior, Strategy and Analytics, and AI for Business. Through applied consulting projects, I translate data into structured recommendations, leveraging analytical tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Python, and Excel while communicating insights with clarity, discipline, and established frameworks. Professionally, as a Financial and Commercial Analyst, I built market sizing and competitive positioning models to guide executive decisions and redesigned financial workflows, reducing reporting preparation time by 50 percent and accelerating strategic discussions. I am particularly drawn to strategy consulting, financial analysis, and strategic roles within consumer-focused industries, where growth strategy, financial decision-making, and data-driven insights intersect. Recognized as analytical, adaptable, and creative, I thrive working collaboratively on initiatives that require both structured thinking and fresh perspective. Bilingual in Spanish and English, with international academic experience, I work effectively across diverse teams and perspectives. I am motivated by continuous growth and by the opportunity to approach business challenges with clarity, structure, and intention.Let's connect to see how we can work together (js3938@cornell.edu).
