I lead finance, strategy, and Latin American logistics operations that deliver profitable growth.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've led Latin American operations, finance, and strategy at UPS, directing a $900M budget across ground, air logistics, and brokerage operations in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. I led an air network redesign that reduced annual costs by more than $4M and a small-package growth initiative that increased year-over-year profit by 70%.
I also built business cases and transformation programs that delivered measurable results, including $5M in incremental annual profit from an acquisition, $1M+ in annual profitable revenue from the Express Flowers Market, and a $10M reduction in outstanding accounts receivable.
Through P&L Consulting, I audit Latin American air gateways for financial, operational, and regulatory compliance. I'm passionate about developing talent, strengthening controls, and helping teams use data to make better business decisions.
