Bilingual FinOps & Strategic Sourcing professional turning messy ops data into measurable cost impact.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual FinOps and Strategic Sourcing professional with 6+ years driving cost control, vendor governance, and process automation across Maersk and Ford Motor Credit, using analytics to translate operational noise into financial impact. At Maersk’s CSB LATAM Cluster, I lead FinOps for Colombia, Panama, and the Dominican Republic—processing ~500 vendor workflows per week and managing $12M+ in annual vendor payments across SAP and Kewill.
I’ve delivered measurable improvements, including reducing Panama inter-company balance (ICB) factura exposure from $100K to ~ $10K within the first three months by cleaning legacy unpaid invoices dating back to 2020. I built and delivered Root Cause Analysis on inland Colombia cost overruns, combining WFS data, vendor invoice comparisons, and regulatory analysis to quantify a median +20% cost-to-serve gap and drive pricing realignment to Commercial. I also identified structural blockers in invoice aging (50% of mismatch invoices exceeding 30 days; 15% beyond 90 days), which surfaced a path for real-time cost control and triggered a vendor-governance workstream with Procurement.
Before Maersk, at Ford Motor Credit, I managed credit collections, vendor risk assessments, and account reconciliations, while streamlining vendor payment tracking to reduce dispute-resolution turnaround and improve dealer satisfaction in regional QBRs. I pair finance rigor with workflow automation—using Claude (Pro & API), n8n, Make, Apollo.io, and custom data pipelines—to automate reporting and reduce manual effort (including ~40% faster deal research in my B2B deal sourcing work with MazzLeads). I’m now targeting senior individual-contributor or manager roles in FinOps, FP&A, or Strategic Sourcing at U.S. or global organizations that hire remote LATAM talent.
