Jaime Soria
Finance, operations and supply chain — in one head.
Twenty-five years running finance and operations across retail, industrial distribution, global manufacturing and healthcare distribution in Latin America. Every role carried real operational responsibility — supply chain, procurement, technology, shared services — assigned in writing, not just implied. He learned the business from the commercial side before he ran it from the finance seat, which is why, with him, the numbers and the operation never sit in separate heads.
How I work
Demand first
I confirm there is a real need before I propose anything. No engagement that should not exist.
Lawful structure, always
Payments and counterparties are structured through legitimate, documented channels — never workarounds. Anything that carries legal weight is validated by qualified counsel before it is signed or executed.
Independence
If a deal, a counterparty or a market does not hold up, I say so — before it becomes your problem.
