Summary

I have over 20 years of finance experience in a Corporate environment that has fully utilized and challenged my proven skills and experience working in Spain and in Germany, involved in multidisciplinary and international teams, being a proactive individual with an in-depth knowledge of numerous financial/accounting processes, end-to-end.
I believe in the transformation and I'm completely convinced there's always more to learn and more situations and problems to solve.

I have more illusion than the first day I started to work.
