Background

About Andrea J.

With over 13 years of experience in corporate ratings, I am an associate director at Fitch Ratings, where I specialize in the retail, consumer and real estate industries in Latin America. I have a strong background in corporate credit risk with a master's degree in Finance from Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez. As an associate director, I am the primary analyst for a portfolio of sector-leading companies, covering both international and national scale ratings. I work closely with other analysts, managers, and directors across Fitch's global network, as well as with external stakeholders, such as clients, investors, bankers and local regulator. I use my skills in financial modeling, credit risk assessment, and market research to evaluate the creditworthiness, performance, and outlook of the companies I rate. I also participate in rating committees, write reports, present findings, and provide feedback and guidance to junior analysts.
