At Macquarie Group, I support settlement of structured commodity transactions across agricultural products, oil, and iron ore. I’ve processed intercompany 4131 loans of BRL 150M–550M each and monitor about BRL 2B in cash.

At Bayer Crop Science, I managed a BRL 370M barter portfolio while covering for the account manager in Mato Grosso, and received the Bayer Top Performance Award. I’ve also implemented SWIFT MT940 across seven bank accounts and represented the business in SAP S/4HANA UAT.
