LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE

Connecting financial analysis with business decisions.

Finance professional with 15+ years across HP, Siemens and Sanmina, including 11+ years at HP. Brings Latin America PC and printing repair-finance experience in budgeting, forecasting, cost analysis and financial controls, alongside global SAP transformation.

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.
