About Aunjelica Santos

Hi, I’m Aunjelica — a finance professional who loves a good P&L almost as much as I love a good latte (single shot, because I have enough energy already). I currently rotate across Starbucks Finance, where I’ve built a reputation for diving into complex datasets, modernizing reporting tools, and explaining variance drivers with clarity… and occasionally dramatic flair. I’ve supported financial decision-making across Store Development, Channel Development, and Lease Accounting — touching everything from $18B capital programs to hundreds of new store deals, to write-off forecasting, to Channel Development sales and royalty reporting. Whether it’s building Anaplan models, creating exec-ready decks, or figuring out why a forecast suddenly looks “agrivated,” I’m usually the person who says, “I can figure that out,” and then actually does. What I bring to the table: Analytical depth, storytelling, and a curiosity that occasionally frightens my spreadsheets A track record of taking ownership in ambiguous, high-stakes environments An ability to translate financial complexity into insights leaders can actually use A positive attitude and a collaborative style (I’ve been told I “show up like an owner,” which is still one of my favorite compliments) A sense of humor, because finance is intense and someone has to keep morale high I’m energized by roles that sit at the intersection of strategy, operations, and financial planning — the kind of work where you get to ask big questions, build scalable solutions, and help leaders make confident decisions. If you love talking finance, business strategy, coffee, dogs or PNW hiking (bonus points if all four), let’s connect.
