Finance Manager | FP&A & Finance Transformation | 12+ Years of Experience I turn complex financial data into clear decisions. With over 12 years across FP&A, cash flow management, AP/AR operations, and financial reporting, I partner with senior leadership to drive business performance — not just report on it. My background spans multinational environments across Brazil and Europe (Ernst & Young, AB InBev, Whirlpool/KitchenAid), where I’ve led month-end close cycles, built forecasting models I’m comfortable owning the numbers and the narrative behind them. What drive me is to make finance smarter. I’ve led process automation and visibility improvement initiatives using Anaplan, Power BI, SAP, and TM1 — reducing manual effort and increasing the accuracy of supply chain and cash flow reporting. I hold a certificate in Financial Management & Compliance from Insper and am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish — an asset in the cross-border, cross-functional environments where I thrive.
