What I'm looking for

I seek a senior or managerial role in internal audit, risk or compliance where I can lead control improvements, implement ERM/GRC, drive IAM projects, and collaborate cross-functionally to add measurable operational and regulatory value.

I am an experienced internal audit, risk management and compliance specialist with a bachelor's degree in accounting and a background in Big 4, multinational and corporate environments. I lead multidisciplinary teams to strengthen controls, mitigate risks and ensure regulatory compliance across operations.

My career highlights include implementing ERM and internal control systems, driving identity and access management programs across LATAM, and delivering SOX and process-improvement projects that reduced exposure to financial, operational and compliance risks. I have led projects for companies in chemicals, consumer goods, financial services and healthcare.

I work collaboratively with stakeholders to create synergies, influence leadership on risk gaps, and implement automation and best practices that align controls with strategic objectives and improve operational reliability.
