I am a distinguished young professional based in Quito, Ecuador, dedicated to building a culture of ethics and compliance within organizations. With over 12 years of experience, I have significantly contributed to the development of ethical and compliance standards across various business areas and sectors in Ecuador and Latin America. Renowned for my leadership, proactive approach, and analytical skills, I have a robust national and international educational background, making me a key asset in my field.

Noteworthy Achievements:

I have served in pivotal roles such as Legal Advisor, Compliance Officer, Money Laundering Responsible Officer, and Responsible Officer for fiscal transparency programs such as FATCA, CRS, and international sanctions programs, in the most prestigious financial institutions in the country with international presence in the region. In these roles, I have demonstrated exceptional skills in ensuring that company processes and procedures not only comply with laws but also adhere to the highest international standards. My efforts have improved the quality of risk detection and prevention analyses, kept senior
management and stakeholders updated on relevant standards, and provided continuous training at all company levels.

Due to my dedication and commitment to excellence, I have earned numerous accolades nationally and internationally. Notably, I was recognized as the Rising Star of the Year by the international firm Raw Compliance in 2021 and was shortlisted for the Rising Star Award in Compliance (The One to Watch) by the International Compliance Association (ICA) in 2022.

I am also recognized as a thought leader in compliance, holding multiple international accreditations from esteemed organizations such as the Ethics & Compliance Initiative (ECI) and the Financial & International Business Association (FIBA) in partnership with Florida International University (FIU) in the United States, the Instituto de Oficiales de Cumplimiento (IOC), and the Asociación Española de Compliance (ASCOM) in Spain, among others. Actively involved in sharing my knowledge through regional and international
training programs and world-class specialized conferences as a lecturer, I reflect my passion for knowledge development and my commitment to sharing it globally.

I have contributed my extensive knowledge through monographic texts to organizations such as the Latin American Federation of Banks (FELABAN), providing legal and technical criteria aimed at creating more efficient banking systems and processes aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). By proposing solutions such as the use of clean technology for smart contracts, artificial intelligence, and improving methodologies and systems to mitigate the risks of money laundering through the financial system, I have made a significant impact. This contribution has earned me recognition three times at world-class conferences on Financial Law and Anti-Money Laundering, organized by FELABAN in the region.
