CPA with extensive experience in a Big 4 Firm, interacting with other high-level professionals and managing a portfolio of public and private companies through the years. This is complemented by my experience at Prosegur, where I have made significant progress in my professional career within the Group, as Regional Financial Consultant, Deputy Chief Financial Officer in Brazil, Global Head of Internal Control and Director of the Global Shared Services Center & Accounting Quality and Standardization. I currently work as CFO at Neosecure, a leading cibersecurity service company in Latin America. During my professional career I have gained strong project management skills, teamwork and ability to see bigger picture, take initiative and offer solutions with added value. I promote a positive work environment for team members and provide professional development through formal and informal coaching.
