## About

```text
At VML Argentina, I implemented Workday PSA waves that improved operational efficiency by 15%. I also managed weekly deliveries and supervised Project Managers and operational analysts.

As Project Leader for Workday PSA at VML Argentina, I coordinated opportunity tickets, gathered client requirements, and implemented Workday across business units. I designed Jira forms and workflows and worked with US clients to align deliverables.

At VAN Vehicle Acquisition Network, I managed payroll via Deel for 65 international employees and handled recruitment, onboarding, and personnel administration. I also created Review Cycles in Deel and coordinated employee training programs.
