What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities where I can combine corporate finance, budget management, project economics, and sustainability to improve profitability and operational efficiency through collaborative, data-driven work.

At eDreams ODIGEO, I manage and control legal budgets across multiple entities and jurisdictions, providing visibility into spend and commitments across fiscal years.

I lead invoice, purchase order, supplier onboarding, and financial workflow processes in Coupa, ensuring compliance with AP requirements and tax regulations. I also build Google Sheets and Looker Studio dashboards for real-time budget tracking and strategic decisions.

Previously at Hatch, I developed cash-flow models, estimated CAPEX for industrial plants, and monitored project controls across budgets, schedules, drawings, and performance indicators. My work on a refinery expansion supported a 34% improvement in efficiency and profitability while increasing unit capacity from 40,000 to 50,000 barrels per day.

With a chemical engineering background and postgraduate training in corporate finance, I bring financial, technical, and sustainability perspectives to industrial and cross-functional projects. I'm motivated by innovation, continuous improvement, and collaborative work that turns analysis into efficient solutions.
