At TDCX, I served as Senior Finance Expert and accounting lead for local operations, overseeing the accounting cycle and monthly IFRS close. I led financial and management reporting for Brazil and Colombia and supported budget preparation and forecast tracking.

I also led the restructuring of accounting and finance processes and strengthened controls over payments, reconciliations, payroll interfaces, and balance sheet accounts. Earlier, I worked in accounting and fixed asset roles at Vivo (Telefônica Brasil), Graded – The American School of São Paulo, and Indaco Indústria e Comércio, after starting my career in audit at EY.
