Background

About Daniel Panes

I am a finance executive with 15+ years of experience leading Finance and Administration functions in financial services, brokerage and technology companies supporting water infrastructure, mainly in multinational environments. Throughout my career, I have built and developed high-performing teams, strengthened internal controls and designed management reporting models that help senior leadership make better-informed decisions, with a strong focus on profitability, cash discipline and corporate governance. I currently serve as Finance Manager LATAM at Rubicon Water, reporting to Global Finance in Australia and working in close partnership with the regional General Manager. My role combines financial leadership, stakeholder management (banks, auditors, external advisors, clients) and strategic support to operations in Chile and across Latin America. My experience includes IFRS, budgeting, cash flow management, treasury, implementation of ERP systems (SAP Business One) and Business Intelligence tools, as well as the standardization of financial and administrative processes across group companies. I am recognized for a collaborative and people-focused leadership style, the ability to translate complex financial data into clear messages for different audiences, and a strategic mindset aimed at creating sustainable value for the company, its teams and its stakeholders.
