Gabriel Fava
@gabrielfava
I build data-driven finance strategies that grow margins and automate decisions.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered finance, pricing, and investment analytics outcomes across Abbott, Kimberly-Clark, Danone, PwC, and private-equity engagements. At Abbott, I designed a pricing strategy for a $180M portfolio that delivered a 4.2% gross-margin uplift, equivalent to $7.5M annualized.
At Lotus Domaine, I built and led a four-person data-science team supporting a $120M+ AUM enterprise-software portfolio. I created due-diligence analytics that reduced deal evaluation time by 45% and automated portfolio reporting from three weeks to four days.
At Kimberly-Clark and Danone, I led revenue, promotional-spend, logistics-cost, and commercial-finance initiatives across large portfolios. My RPA solution, “The Beast,” automated 900+ analyst hours annually and reduced reporting errors by 80%, while Route-To-Market analysis at Danone delivered an 8% logistics-cost reduction.
Now, as a Partner at OakTech Systems, I help launch funds and build AI-powered fundraising, due-diligence, and market-analytics capabilities. I'm a CPA and CMA with finance and data-science training, and I work comfortably across LATAM and US teams in Spanish and English.
