Experience

Manager, Studio Finance & Innovation (EMEA) · Madrid, Spain (EMEA)

  • Own studio finance and innovation workstreams for EMEA: turn ambiguous operating questions into structured analysis and stakeholder-ready decisions.
  • Drive process and tooling changes with cross-functional partners so definitions, ownership, and controls stay aligned as workflows evolve.
  • Prototype finance-data review patterns in Python and SQL before proposing broader process change.
  • Coach analysts on exception triage, documentation discipline, and handoffs between finance operators and systems owners.

Finance Associate · Los Angeles, CA

  • Supported studio finance reporting, analysis, and planning with repeatable close and variance routines.
  • Clarified inputs, owners, and review checkpoints so operator-to-systems handoffs stayed durable across recurring deliverables.
  • Built and maintained analysis templates that cut rework on recurring planning and reporting cycles.

Finance Manager · Miami, FL

  • Managed studio amortization, annual planning, monthly close, and deal modeling under US GAAP.
  • Coordinated multi-team planning inputs and translated deal economics into decision-ready models for leadership.

Finance and Accounting Manager · Miami, FL

  • Led regional finance teams and an SAP implementation across Latin America, covering process ownership, cutover readiness, and control checkpoints.
  • Aligned system change with how teams actually closed and reported so cutover matched operating reality, not only the configuration workbook.

Spectrum Life Care Services

Mar 2011 — May 2012

Accounting Manager · Cooper City, FL

  • Led a small accounting team through revenue, payroll, payables, receivables, and close.
  • Standardized recurring close checklists so a small team could absorb volume without losing review discipline.

Education

Projects & highlights

Finance Variance Review Workbench (opens in new tab)

Interactive prototype for plan-to-actual exception triage: deterministic calculations, source references, and human review / escalate / notes controls on synthetic records. Boundary: no LLM, connected system, persistent storage, or production outcome claimed.

  • Handles the zero-plan case explicitly; review state lives in browser memory.
  • Separates fixture context from generated reasoning; all sample data is invented.

Statement Analysis Review Workbench (opens in new tab)

Static browser prototype for reviewing synthetic financial statements with deterministic ratios, formula traces, and explicit missing-data states. Boundary: no LLM or external service is called.

  • Compares growth, gross margin, operating margin, current ratio, and working capital across synthetic periods.
  • Tests no-comparator and zero-denominator cases; observations report arithmetic and do not attribute causes.
