Finance Alliance for Sustainable TradeProject Financial Analyst
Jun. 2017 - Oct. 2017Montreal, Canada Area• Developed and documented strategic plans for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Latin America, Africa and the Caribbean to get access to financing for agriculture projects between US$50,000 and US$800,000. By collecting, interpreting and analyzing each SME’s financial reports and project characteristics, I identified potential international investors (banks / funds) in Europe and North America and connected them with the SMEs. • Through the use of the “Crystal-Ball from Orcale” statistical analysis tool, I generated trends and probabilistic forecasts to show the potential success that each SME could reach for any specific proposed project.
• Arranged and led meetings, calls and conferences between SMEs and potential investors, presenting a summary of the current and potential financial statements of the SME´s (forecasts generated by me), what was required for the project and how they aligned with the investors' requirements. Subsequently led the conversation between the two parties to generate the negotiation between them. • Devised and documented strategies to adapt the financial platform created by FAST to match FSPs (Financial Service Providers) with SME´s (named AXiiS) to client needs through the evaluation of the profiles of each SME and FSP interested in partaking in the platform. This generated a 38% increase on the number of projects searching access to financing, matching 60% of them with a potential investor.
