At Magic Dreams, I oversee financial strategy, treasury, internal controls and tax compliance, and lead the Finance and Accounting team. I developed a tax-compliance alert tool and am leading the ERP migration to SAP.

At Insignia Resources, I built Excel dashboards for 13 nursery facilities to track income, expenses and KPIs in real time. Earlier, I launched the Panama treasury team at QGOG Constellation Panama Corp and helped scale the Buenos Aires team at Ernst & Young from 13 professionals to 100 in one year.
