What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue driving financial planning, cost performance, and operational efficiency through budgeting, forecasting, dashboards, and cross-functional business partnering.

I've supported financial planning and cost performance at Kraft Heinz and Ambev, turning operational data into budget, forecast, and efficiency decisions. At Kraft Heinz, I helped reduce plant losses by R$7.1 million in six months through yield-loss control and cross-functional improvement work.

I've led variable-cost budgeting, forecasting, inventory controls, variance analysis, and Power BI dashboards for manufacturing and returnable glass bottle portfolios. I partner closely with Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, Logistics, and R&D to translate complex performance data into actionable recommendations.

My work also includes CAPEX governance, financial modeling, audit routines, process mapping, and continuous improvement. I bring a practical, data-driven approach focused on cost control, financial governance, and scalable operational performance.
