What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, encourages strategic decision-making, and values teamwork.

I am a finance professional with solid experience in corporate finance, financial planning & analysis (FP&A), and investor relations. My proven leadership as a Finance Head has allowed me to manage diverse teams across FP&A, M&A, compliance, legal, IT, and HR. I possess an analytical and hands-on profile, enabling me to transform data into strategic decisions and build efficient financial structures that promote sustainable growth.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong track record in value creation, fundraising, and leading high-performance teams. At ICA Group, I led annual budgeting and financial forecasting, implemented strategic KPIs, and conducted fundraising initiatives, including M&A transactions. My previous roles at MRV Engenharia involved directing financial reporting, supporting strategic decisions, and playing a key role in a significant capital raising process. I am committed to fostering governance and team development while ensuring operational efficiency.
