Finance Manager with 12+ years building financial clarity, governance, and strategic decision support across multinational environments. Naturally drawn to complex situations where structure is missing — and committed to making finance a source of stability and confidence for the organizations I work with.
"Strong decisions start with strong foundations. When financial clarity is present, leadership can move with confidence."
I'm naturally drawn to complex or unstructured environments. I build order, strengthen governance, and ensure financial information truly reflects business reality — so leadership can move with confidence.
I take the time to understand the priorities and concerns of each stakeholder. I translate financial data into insights that are relevant, practical, and aligned with their actual decision-making needs — not just reporting numbers.
I'm deeply committed to transparency, sound judgment, and sustainable performance. I work best in roles where finance is expected to contribute real stability and confidence — not just compliance.
Home base in Costa Rica and Ecuador. Meaningful time in Canada, Peru, Panama, and Dominican Republic. Immersive stays in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Malaysia, and Vietnam — experiencing how life and business actually work in each place. 40+ countries overall. That breadth built a genuine ability to adapt to any context, read people across cultures, and build trust with stakeholders from very different backgrounds — which is at the core of how I approach business partnering.
Dual-scope temporary role: supporting a global business line separation (carve-out) and independently leading a balance sheet risk assessment across all global legal entities — including entities in North America, Europe, and Latin America.
Remote financial planning and advisory to business owners across Latin America — focused on financial clarity, performance improvement, and decision support during a deliberate transition period.
Led financial and accounting operations for two legal entities in Costa Rica within a global, matrixed environment. Primary liaison between the Local Business, Shared Services Center, and Corporate — with additional cross-country exposure including Peru. Ensured IFRS compliance and ICFR standards.
Led the complete finance function for a lean, multi-country operation across Central America and the Caribbean — Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, and Dominican Republic. Hands-on leadership role covering accounting, treasury, FP&A, and administrative management as part of the local leadership team.
Foundation years across multinational (Baker Hughes) and local environments — building technical depth in treasury, accounts payable, reconciliations, and month-end close.
Finance Manager with 12+ years of regional and international experience. I build financial clarity in complex environments and partner with leadership to turn numbers into confident decisions.
I'm naturally drawn to unstructured or transitional environments — where governance needs to be built, financial visibility is missing, and leadership needs a trusted finance partner to make sense of it all. My approach combines disciplined financial control with a genuine business perspective focused on risks, opportunities, and sustainable performance.

I'm a Finance Manager with regional experience leading finance functions across multi-country operations in multinational environments. My work focuses on bringing structure to financial information, improving visibility, and ensuring that numbers truly reflect business reality. I'm naturally drawn to complex or unstructured environments where clarity is missing — I enjoy building order, strengthening governance, and connecting financial data with commercial and operational realities. At Adelca, I built the regional finance function across Central America and the Caribbean, designed a financial planning model that actually reflected business reality, and led financial restructuring that returned the business to profitability after two consecutive years of losses. At Roche, I led the migration of local finance operations to a Shared Services Center — maintaining financial control standards throughout — and resolved years of accumulated balance sheet inaccuracies. Right now at Lonza, I'm supporting a global carve-out and independently leading a balance sheet risk assessment across all global legal entities. Throughout all of this, I've worked closely with leadership across very different cultural contexts. My home base has always been Costa Rica and Ecuador, with meaningful time in Canada, Peru, Panama, and the Dominican Republic — and immersive stays in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Malaysia, and Vietnam, experiencing how life and business actually work in each place. 40+ countries overall. That exposure built something I consider one of my real differentiators: the ability to adapt quickly to any context, read people across cultures, and earn trust with stakeholders from very different backgrounds. It's at the core of how I approach business partnering. If I had to summarize it: I bring structure, clarity, and sound judgment to complex financial environments — and I'm motivated by roles where finance contributes real stability and confidence to the organization.
