I streamline immigration, HR, and legal operations across Latin America.
What I'm looking for
At Cognizant Global Mobility, I manage end-to-end immigration and relocation for associates across Latin America, owning Costa Rica and Chile while supporting the wider regional team. I redesigned Costa Rica’s process to reduce relocation timelines from six months to three weeks and built Microsoft Lists case-tracking dashboards with real-time reporting.
I bring experience across legal practice, AML investigations at Amazon, HR operations, international document management, and B2B client relationships. I build practical systems, coordinate closely with attorneys, HR, finance, vendors, and government entities, and handle sensitive documentation with a strong focus on compliance, privacy, and clear communication.
