@dianacalvochavarria
I’m a Finance & Operations Analyst automating P2P, AP, and inventory with AI.
Costa RicaWhat I'm looking for
I bring 10+ years in shared services finance—P2P, accounts payable, and inventory analysis across GSK, Bimbo, and Smile Direct Club. I’m known for turning complex, manual processes into lean, automated workflows, most recently using Microsoft Copilot to streamline reporting and eliminate bottlenecks.
At GSK in Costa Rica, I’ve reduced per-entity processing from 45 minutes to 5 minutes and supported month-end close, audit readiness, and cross-entity reconciliations. I’ve also delivered 95–100% KPI performance with Top Performer Awards, and I’m remote-ready with a proven record of cross-cultural collaboration.
