What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in a dynamic environment.

I am a finance professional with extensive experience as a CFO across Latin America and Spain. My journey has been marked by leading strategic financial operations in diverse sectors, including manufacturing, upcycling, distribution, logistics, and private education. I hold an MBA from Hult International Business School and a Diploma in Management Control from the University of Chile, which have equipped me with the skills to excel in P&L management, EBITDA optimization, and KPI development.

Throughout my career, I have successfully supervised financial operations across multiple subsidiaries, ensuring compliance with international accounting standards while implementing strategies that enhance cash flow and reduce leverage ratios. My role at Industrias Vínicas exemplifies my commitment to integrating ESG initiatives into financial strategies, fostering relationships with key stakeholders, and driving value creation. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, allowing me to navigate multicultural environments effectively.
