About

Finance professional with an engineering foundation, currently at Santander in the United States, where I work on portfolio monitoring, financial modeling, and vendor consolidation. Previously at Alcon, I owned Latin American financial operations across multiple geographies, reporting directly to global leadership. I completed my full-time MBA in Finance and Investments at the University of Notre Dame with honors in May 2026, while continuing my responsibilities at Santander. My undergraduate degree is in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Tec de Monterrey (ITESM). Earlier, I co-founded a restaurant business that scaled to three locations. I'm focused on corporate finance and credit, with particular interest in project finance and private credit.
