I am an MBA-qualified turnaround executive and CFO with over 20 years of experience transforming distressed operations across mining, infrastructure, and industrial sectors. Currently based in New York, I bring a unique combination of crisis leadership, international operations expertise, and complex transaction structuring capabilities to organizations navigating their most challenging periods.
My Core Expertise & Value Creation:
I specialize in stabilizing underperforming assets and converting them into profitable, investor-ready enterprises. My track record includes structuring $300M+ in syndicated financing, executing strategic spin-offs, and delivering measurable operational improvements including $75M+ in cost reductions and 40% operational growth. I have successfully led organizations through environmental shutdowns, liquidity constraints, regulatory challenges, and volatile market conditions.
My International Leadership Experience:
With executive experience across six countries (Peru, United States, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, and France), I bring deep expertise in Latin American markets and cross-border operations. My multilingual capabilities (English, Spanish, Portuguese, French) and cultural fluency enable me to navigate complex stakeholder environments involving governments, investors, creditors, and communities.
My Notable Achievements:
Crisis Leadership: I restarted a government-confiscated copper mine, preserving 850 jobs during intense regulatory scrutiny.
Transaction Excellence: I executed Peru’s largest sale-leaseback transaction ($126M) and secured critical financing during the 2008 financial crisis.
Operational Transformation: I built a $100M+ brownfield mining operation from zero to world-class performance with consistent 15%+ ROIC.
Infrastructure Modernization: I increased airport passenger throughput by 40% while supporting $200M+ in planned infrastructure investment.
My Current Focus:
I am executing an intensive executive search campaign targeting senior finance leadership roles including CFO, interim CFO, and VP Finance positions. My approach combines aggressive volume with strategic targeting, leveraging my crisis management expertise and international experience as key differentiators for organizations navigating complexity, restructuring, or cross-border integration challenges.
My Education & Credentials:
