About Maria Pelaez

Accomplished finance professional with extensive experience leading financial strategies to facilitate growth, efficiency and understanding by improving decision making, enhancing systems/processes and evaluating complex problems. Track record of developing financial forecasts and budgets, mitigating financial risks, and collaborating across functions. A critical thinker and problem solver with excellent communication skills, adept at leading/motivating high-performing teams and building long-lasting relations with stakeholders and business leaders. I'm passionate about learning the operation to enable me to better counsel business partners and thus provide a better and richer understanding of financial metrics and KPIs, and the impact their decisions have on the overall success of the organization. On a personal note I am passionate about conservation, sustainability and giving back. I try to incorporate these interests into my work when considering cost savings initiatives, financial sustainability, resilience and strategic longevity.
