About Andrea Alarcon

As a Senior Financial Analyst at NextEra Energy Resources, I specialize in financial modeling and strategic planning to support the natural gas supply, logistics, and asset management platform. With over a year in this role, I lead operational expense planning, partner with cost-center owners, and contribute to corporate reporting, KPI tracking, and performance metrics by collaborating across departments including Legal, Risk, and Accounting. At Formosa Plastics Corporation, I managed a portfolio of over 200 customer accounts with monthly credit lines totaling $0.5 billion. I partnered with Sales leadership to ensure projected revenue growth aligned with credit exposures, making risk based adjustments to support business expansion while protecting the company’s financial position. My recommendations guided C suite decisions on credit limits and contract structures, while continuous monitoring of market activity, M&A developments, and macroeconomic indicators safeguarded the company against volatility and strengthened long term customer relationships.With a background rooted in high‑impact financial analysis, credit risk oversight, and cross‑functional partnership, I bring a disciplined, strategic approach to driving clarity, strengthening financial performance, and enabling confident decision‑making at the enterprise level.
