What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my leadership skills in strategic planning and financial management while fostering team collaboration and driving organizational growth.

I am a multidisciplinary executive with over a decade of experience in strategic planning, financial management, and administrative leadership. My career has been marked by a proven track record of driving institutional change and optimizing procurement processes across both public and private sectors. I excel in leading cross-functional teams, improving efficiencies, and achieving substantial cost savings while ensuring compliance with international standards.

Currently, I serve at the Government of Ecuador's Ministry of Finance, where I lead various departments including finance, administration, procurement, HR, and IT. My strategic direction has enabled multidisciplinary teams to meet regulatory standards and optimize resource allocation for municipal and multilateral housing projects. I am passionate about developing and implementing management models that drive project success and accountability, and I have created robust budget execution tools that enhance financial oversight.
