I drive finance strategy, predictive analytics, and profitable growth across multinational operations.
What I'm looking for
At OTIS Worldwide Corporation, I lead finance for a six-country services operation with USD 150–160M in annual revenue, managing a 35-person team across four business units. I oversee the P&L, balance sheet, working capital, cash flow, consolidation, planning, SOX, and audits.
I secured USD 40M+ in federal projects through five tenders, reduced SG&A by 15%, and reduced DSO by 10% through HighRadius implementation. I focus on pricing discipline, cost management, and financial visibility that improve profitability.
Previously at NEORIS, I built treasury, risk management, controlling, and FP&A from zero during its divestment from Cemex and acquisition by EPAM Systems. I partnered with the CEO to drive 20% annual revenue and EBITDA growth and supported 2x EVA creation in two years.
Across Orbia, Grupo AXO, Grupo Lala, Unilever, PepsiCo, and UCB, I've led treasury, working capital, M&A, financing, risk management, SAP implementations, and predictive modeling across the Americas. I bring forward-looking financial insights, Power BI reporting, and data-driven strategy to complex multi-country organizations.
