I lead financial, operational, and compliance audits that strengthen controls and inform business decisions.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At dentsu, I lead end-to-end financial, operational, and compliance audits, including a global Affiliates Review that identified control gaps and drove remediation plans with regional finance teams.
I also co-led an Ethics & Compliance investigation that contributed to key organizational decisions. I build strong relationships with senior finance leaders, produce actionable audit reports, and maintain audit trail integrity in Riskonnect.
Previously at Quest Diagnostics, I owned full P&Ls for multiple pathology practices with $6.8M in annual revenue, developed oncology reporting, managed budget processes, and built financial models and business cases. As a Senior Auditor there, I led audit teams, investigations, data analysis for potential fraud, and staff development.
My foundation includes regional accounting at Care One and assurance work at Ernst & Young, where I audited public companies with revenues of $7–13 billion. I bring Spanish-language audit experience, financial reporting knowledge, and a practical focus on improving controls and decision-making.
