@luismilla
I lead multi-country controllership, FP&A, SOX compliance, and $20M P&L operations.
What I'm looking for
At Transsion Holdings, I own a $20M annual budget across seven countries, three brands per market, and 10 regional distributors. I lead FP&A, cross-border controls, treasury strategy, and automated reporting for a multinational technology business.
I’ve managed profitability in high-risk markets, including Venezuela, using dynamic pricing and currency-hedging strategies to mitigate FX exposure. I also advise regional sales and marketing leaders on financial insights that support market-entry decisions.
Previously, I supported US GAAP reporting and forecasting at PrimeFlight Aviation Services and managed more than 300 SOX controls across 16 Latin American markets at Avon Cosmetics through Capgemini. I’ve led Oracle ERP implementation across Chile, Brazil, and Guatemala and rolled out regional procurement and ticket-management processes.
At Marsa Construction, I redesigned cost-accounting policies and finance processes, reducing monthly expenditures by 25% and saving $35K annually. I work across controllership, budgeting, reporting, internal controls, treasury, and multi-currency operations in Spanish, English, and Portuguese.
