Alma Perez
@almaperez
Senior operations and financial leader specializing in compliance, risk, and program oversight.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned operations and financial management professional with extensive experience overseeing multi-billion-dollar program portfolios across federal, county, and local environments. I combine financial analysis, risk assessment, audit readiness, and process optimization to ensure operational integrity and compliance.
At HUD I lead compliance, financial oversight, and risk assessment for large program portfolios, coordinate audits, and prepare executive-level analyses that translate complex data into actionable insights. In county roles I directed housing, economic development, and community initiatives, managed budgets and funding allocations, and supervised multidisciplinary teams.
I am a proven leader who mentors staff, advises senior leadership, and collaborates with legal, audit, and program stakeholders on high-visibility matters and emergency response efforts. My background in auditing and program closeouts ensures robust controls and measurable performance outcomes.
