Summary

With over 10 years of experience in the finance and payments sector. Based in Balearic Islands, Spain, I am currently a Financial controller at Payyo where I bring experience from previous roles at Polygon Labs, RIU Hotels & Resorts, Indra, UBS and PwC. With a robust skill set that includes External Audit, Economics, Financial Analysis, Corporate Finance. I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, as I have worked in different countries and cultures, and have a master's degree in economics. During my career I was responsible for monitoring, auditing, reporting on the company's operations, ensuring compliance with internal and external regulations and standards. I also leverage my anti-money laundering knowledge to identify and prevent fraudulent and suspicious transactions, and to ensure adherence to the global anti-money laundering and financial crime prevention policies and procedures. I have contributed to several projects and initiatives that have enhanced the company's treasury and payment capabilities, such as the implementation of a new payment console, the optimization of the chargeback process, and the development of a new anti-fraud system.
