I have approximately 18 years experience working mainly in the IT-ERP sector, strongly focused on the Finance and Procurement domains and on the implementation of robust business processes.
My passion lies in bringing disruption with a touch of technology to simplify the operation of the organizations I work for.

Currently working on the Master's thesis 'Adoption of ISO 20022 for Payments' consisting on the development of an adoption model to efficiently address the complex technical and operational issues related to global payments and ISO 20022.
