ABOUT MARCELO AMORIM VASCONCELLOS

My work focuses on structuring the finance function to enable better economic decisions and support sustainable growth with capital discipline.Throughout my career, I have been at the center of financial decision-making in environments marked by rapid growth, organizational transformation, and market pressure.I have worked across global mining and logistics operations, European-controlled utilities, family-owned infrastructure groups, high-growth technology companies, and internationally controlled payments businesses. Each environment required adapting to different governance structures, engaging closely with executives and shareholders, and maintaining financial rigor across distinct corporate cultures.Key areas of experiencePerformance and planning• Leading performance management and financial planning agendas during commodity downturns and periods of margin pressure• Improving forecast accuracy and strengthening cash visibility in high-growth environmentsCost efficiency and financial discipline• Implementing zero-based budgeting, rolling forecasts, and structured cost and expense restructuring programsStrategy and growth• Participating in intensive M&A cycles and post-acquisition integration processes• Partnering with operations and commercial teams on pricing reviews and product-level profitability analysisCapital and financial governance• Structuring executive reporting frameworks in capital-intensive and regulated businesses• Supporting funding negotiations, covenant monitoring, and dividend decisionsMy work consistently goes beyond budgeting. I partner closely with operational, commercial, and corporate teams to align capital allocation, liquidity discipline, and performance targets with broader business strategy.I operate comfortably across corporate governance and operational execution. Finance, to me, is not a support function. It is a structuring capability that protects cash, sustains growth, and enables better decisions under pressure.
