What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an FP&A/BI role where I can build executive dashboards, automate finance workflows with Python/Power Automate, and scale AI copilots—partnering with senior stakeholders to improve forecasting and strategic decisions.

I’m an FP&A Analyst with 5+ years of experience bridging financial planning and advanced analytics. At Cushman & Wakefield (Fortune 500), I support South America’s finance function by delivering Power BI dashboards, executive reporting, and AI-driven process automation across 6 countries—turning monthly performance into real-time visibility for CFO and CEO decision-making.

I combine deep FP&A fundamentals—budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and C-suite reporting—with hands-on automation and AI. I’ve built and deployed AI agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio, automated recurring data extraction and Excel consolidation with Python and Power Automate, and trained stakeholders to accelerate analytical workflows while reducing manual effort. Previously, I owned end-to-end Power BI solutions at Theramex and supported market intelligence dashboards at Markestrat using Excel and SQL to deliver forecasting and executive reporting.
