LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE

Connecting financial decisions
with operational execution.

My HP experience combines repair supply-chain finance and global transformation delivery, supported by earlier direct people management and plant budget ownership at Siemens.

At HP, I have supported Latin America repair supply-chain finance and coordinated SAP S/4HANA delivery across business and technology teams. I connect financial analysis, clear process ownership and automation to decisions on cost, working capital and execution.

Earlier, at Siemens, I managed a team of 12 in Zapopan for at least two years, hired staff and tracked performance indicators. I owned the overall plant budget, monitored inventory across four sectors and 30 product lines, and participated in leadership meetings with Mexico and Germany.

FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT

Budgeting, forecasting, costing, reserves and inventory performance, supported by direct team leadership and cross-functional collaboration.

CAREER EXPERIENCE

A career connecting finance
and enterprise change.
