PROFILE
Over my 6 years of professional experience I have worked in different fields such as corporate finance and treasury departments. However, my
greatest interest lies in the administration and development of integrated projects with social and economic impact.
Although my experience has been focused on the definition and implementation of strategies for financial optimization as well as the
development of risk models; being part of the development and management team of one of the biggest projects of financial inclusion for the
rural population of Colombia has allowed all my skills and interests to be routed to integral project management.
