What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an opportunity where I can drive growth through business development and analytics, strengthen processes, and coordinate projects—bringing a solution-architect mindset, leadership, and practical financial discipline to measurable results.

I’m a highly motivated solution architect–minded finance and sales consultant focused on business development, design thinking, and process improvement. In my current role, I secure new clients across air cargo, freight forwarding, and international logistics while leading sales strategy, profitability analysis, and client account management.

Previously, as a Finance Manager, I improved financial accuracy through receivables/payables posting, reconciliations, and collections, and I supported forecasting and budgeting for better decision-making. I also led teams and strengthened operations by implementing document-management improvements, analyzing operational data to cut handling time, and ensuring compliance with statutory and tax deadlines.
