I strengthen financial governance through controls, audits, analytics, and process improvement.

At Motorola Mobility, I conduct worldwide risk assessments and audit financial systems and workflows, strengthening internal controls, delegation-of-authority governance, and regulatory compliance. I've implemented more than ten policies to prevent financial risks and losses.

Across Lenovo's shared finance organization, I led AR and controllership work for Brazil, combining Power BI and SQL for financial reporting, dashboards, forecasts, reconciliations, and leadership reviews. I also managed third-party vendor performance and supported collections, operational controls, and system projects.

I've improved finance processes throughout my career, including reducing overdue receivables by US$16M in three months while leading collections and reconciliations. My work spans SAP, Ariba, Anaplan, audit testing, IFRS/US GAAP support, vendor coordination, and Lean-based process improvement.
