I've led finance, controlling, and full P&L operations for NOV Fibra Chile, Koppers, and Prosegur across Chile and Latin America. At NOV Fibra Chile, I oversee Administration & Finance, including accounting, management control, collections, treasury, and reporting under IFRS and US GAAP.

I've improved cash flow through DPO and DSO management, redesigned costing systems, migrated ERP operations to SAP v10, and partnered with commercial and operations teams on pricing and profitability. I also use process automation and AI-supported reporting to streamline decision-making.

As General Manager of Koppers Chile, I consistently met and exceeded budget results, protected the Top 20 customer base through the COVID-19 pandemic, and reduced fixed costs by 10% while driving EBITDA and ROI improvement. Earlier at Prosegur Activa Chile, I increased customer loyalty by 30%, sales by 60%, and the EBIT/Sales ratio by 20%.

I'm a CPA with experience in M&A due diligence, industrial costs, financial planning, commercial strategy, and multidisciplinary team leadership. I also contribute as a university professor and mentor in Chile and Argentina.
