What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to contribute my financial and operational expertise to VC/PE funds or PE-backed portfolio companies in a remote or hybrid capacity.

At GRUPO CAFA, I improved revenue predictability by 12% and reduced financial reporting errors by 20%, strengthening planning and investor presentations. I also negotiated a $15M credit line with a 2% interest rate reduction.

At ADIAC, I secured $1.1M in federal funds through proposals and remote negotiations with government agencies. At IFEC, I reduced operational expenses by 25% and introduced asynchronous decision-making processes that sped approvals by 20%.

Earlier, at GRUPO SAN JACINTO, I contributed to an SQL-based internal production software and implemented a Reorder Point System that increased monthly cash flow by $100k. I’m seeking to bring my financial and operational expertise to VC/PE funds or PE-backed portfolio companies in a remote or hybrid capacity.
