What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values compliance and innovation, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration.

As an Industrial Engineer with eight years of experience, I have developed a strong expertise in Compliance and Regulatory Affairs. My career has been driven by a purpose-oriented mindset, focusing on advising financial institutions and regulatory bodies on risk mitigation and compliance strategies. I excel in aligning compliance frameworks with evolving legal requirements, ensuring that organizations not only meet but exceed regulatory expectations.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my skills in compliance program updates, due diligence, and data analysis. My most recent position as a Compliance Specialist at PartnerHero involved designing and managing the compliance area for an e-commerce company in the USA, where I was responsible for detecting fraud and managing chargebacks. I have also worked as an Integrity and Compliance Analyst at the Central American Bank for Economic Integration, where I prepared compliance reports and conducted thorough analyses of bank operations.

My academic background includes a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering and postgraduate studies in Business Analytics and Compliance and Cybersecurity. I am also a Certified Financial Crime Specialist, which underscores my commitment to maintaining the highest standards in compliance and regulatory affairs. I am passionate about continuous learning and am currently enrolled in the McKinsey Forward Program to further enhance my skills.
