ABOUT MAURICIO PEREIRA DA SILVA

Finance leader with 20+ years driving P&L performance, margin expansion, and capital allocation across manufacturing, CPG, and automotive environments. I bring a General Manager mindset to FP & A, strategic finance, commercial finance, and operational finance, translating data into decisions that protect profitability and drive sustainable growth. Throughout my career, I have focused on margin expansion, cost structure optimization, disciplined capital investment, and long-term value creation. My work centers on turning financial insight into operational execution and measurable business results. I believe every business decision is ultimately a financial decision. Pricing, portfolio, supply chain, and capital investments all impact variable margin, cost absorption, complexity cost, and return on invested capital. My role is to bring financial clarity, discipline, and accountability to those decisions. Selected impact across multiple organizations: • Expanded variable margin by 300+ basis points through pricing and mix optimization • Reduced SKU count by 25%+, eliminating ~$2MM in annual complexity cost • Delivered $5MM+ cost avoidance through make-vs-buy and sourcing analysis • Built profitability models by customer and product to support pricing decisions • Developed business cases for multi-million-dollar capital investments with defined ROI • Improved cost absorption by 50% over 4 years and reduced waste by 15% • Delivered $2.6MM in distribution savings through network and shipping optimization • Partnered with commercial and operations teams to improve pricing discipline and margin • Built financial models supporting launches and investments that drove $200MM+ revenue growth in 4 years My experience spans FP & A, commercial finance, operations finance, capital planning, pricing, and business performance leadership, working cross-functionally with Operations, Supply Chain, Sales, R&D, and executive teams. My leadership philosophy: Protect and expand margin relentlessly Simplify complexity wherever possible Own outcomes, not just analysis I bring analytical discipline (IQ), emotional intelligence (EQ), and resilience (AQ) to leadership roles. My focus is simple: drive financial performance, allocate capital intelligently, and build durable, profitable businesses.
