Ambitious and results-driven Finance Executive with over 20 years of experience leading financial strategy, governance, and business operations in multinational environments such as Canon and Unilever. I have built my career on a strong foundation of financial management, compliance, and strategic leadership, consistently delivering results that drive growth, optimize processes, and strengthen business performance. As CFO / Finance Director, I have overseen core finance functions including accounting, budgeting, credit, procurement, and governance, while ensuring alignment with broader organizational goals. My approach combines financial discipline with a commercial and operational mindset, enabling the business to make data-driven decisions and achieve sustainable profitability. A key part of my work involves collaborating across departments — from commercial to operations and support — acting as a strategic business partner who translates complex financial insights into actionable strategy. I am passionate about empowering teams, improving operational efficiency, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and accountability. Over the years, I have led or participated in multiple transformation projects, including ERP transitions (Oracle), governance enhancements, process standardization, and risk management initiatives across Portugal and Spain. As a Board Member, I contribute to defining and executing corporate strategy, ensuring sound governance, financial transparency, and long-term value creation. Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, I thrive in multicultural environments that challenge the status quo and value strategic thinking, integrity, and collaboration. 💡 Key strengths: Financial Strategy | Governance, Risk & Compliance | Business Partnering | Budgeting & Forecasting | Process Optimization | Leadership & People Development | Operational Excellence
