Message

At Atoms, I lead LATAM finance across 13 countries and approximately 100 legal entities, reporting under IFRS and US GAAP. I previously served as Europe Controller in London.

I delivered more than USD 4 million in savings through corporate restructurings in Brazil and the UK, tax re-planning in Brazil, and the removal of operational inefficiencies. I also partnered on governance, performance, and expansion.

At Atoms, I drove AI-enabled finance automation and ERP implementations involving SAP, Workday, and TOTVS. I also led multicultural teams across Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.

At Mutant, I acted as de facto CFO, owning the company-wide annual budget and reporting to the C-level and Board. Earlier, at Ernst & Young (EY) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), I worked in assurance, including audits under IFRS, US GAAP, local GAAP, CVM/SEC, and SOX.
