I lead finance transformation, FP&A, treasury, and financial controls for complex international energy and infrastructure operations.
What I'm looking for
I build financial control, FP&A, treasury, and project-finance frameworks for energy, EPC, infrastructure, manufacturing, and services businesses. As an independent advisor at Global Business International, I support approximately 30 corporate clients with financial models, feasibility evaluations, investment appraisals, budgets, forecasts, and operational controllership.
At SPS Drilling E&P, I led FP&A and treasury for multi-well drilling and rehabilitation programs, reducing OPEX budget variances by 15%, payment-processing lead times by 35%, and the cash conversion cycle by 12 days. I also shortened Board financial-deck delivery from 15 to 7 business days after close.
I have designed multi-project controls for a 100-well upstream energy venture with a 20-year, $500M contract value, strengthened IFRS governance alongside Big Four auditors, and led SAP and Profit Plus implementations. Across PetroNova, Inelectra, Dell Acqua, Grupo Roangi, 3M, and other international operations, I have supported executive teams with multi-currency consolidation, CAPEX/OPEX governance, audit readiness, and capital-allocation analysis.
I work comfortably across on-site, hybrid, remote, and multi-country environments, advising CEOs, CFOs, Boards, and Audit Committees in English and Spanish.
