What I'm looking for

I'm looking for hybrid or remote opportunities where I can lead internal audit, risk, compliance, and control initiatives that strengthen governance and create value for senior management.

I've led internal audit and control engagements at Procaps S.A. across eight subsidiaries in Latin America and the United States, designing risk-based annual audit plans aligned with SOX and COSO. I present audit findings and action plans to senior leadership while strengthening testing quality and team efficiency.

Across Procaps, Rymco Medical, Foster Wheeler, and Deloitte, I've performed financial, operational, logistics, compliance, and IFRS-based audits. I build risk and control matrices, review contract and billing compliance, identify control gaps, and support stronger corporate governance.
