About Jorge Rodriguez

Finance Transformation leader focused on modernizing global finance organizations through automation, shared services, and digital enablement.Over the course of my career, I’ve helped organizations redesign how finance operates—building Centers of Excellence, scaling shared services models, and deploying technologies such as RPA, AI, and advanced analytics to simplify complex processes and unlock operational efficiency.At Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, I launched the company’s RPA program, selecting and implementing UiPath in just 14 weeks while negotiating contracts that delivered $250K in savings. I also led the global rollout of SAP Concur Invoicing supporting 800+ users and vendors, while establishing governance frameworks to ensure automation initiatives aligned with SOX and ITGC requirements.Previously at FedEx, I led Finance Transformation initiatives across the Latin America region, helping modernize shared services operations and converting high-volume finance processes into automated solutions that reduced operating costs by up to 66%.My career has spanned commercial finance, operational finance, and enterprise transformation across organizations such as Bacardi, FedEx, and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings—experience that has shaped my approach to leading change in complex global environments.I believe the future of finance lies at the intersection of people, process, and intelligent automation. My leadership philosophy is simple: build strong teams, simplify complexity, and use technology to enable better decision-making.
