What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role focused on FP&A, decision support, and pricing where I can drive strategic planning, improve profitability, and work collaboratively in a data-driven, growth-oriented environment.

I am a business administration graduate with progressive experience in financial planning, analysis, and decision support at Nestlé Venezuela. I have led scenario planning, P&L management, pricing strategy, and monthly close activities, delivering accurate financial reports and insights to drive profitability and commercial decisions.

Skilled in cost analysis, budgeting, forecasting and stakeholder reporting, I leverage advanced Excel, Power BI and SAP ERP to optimize processes and present actionable recommendations. I am known for ensuring timely month-end closures, consolidating financial information, and supporting strategic planning across local and regional operations.
