As CFO since 2009, he has been the financial steward of Innotec, guiding the company with analytical precision and strategic financial planning where he has been a force of innovation for over 21 years. His leadership has been instrumental beyond finance as he led the launching of two key divisions, including a significant international expansion in Mexico, where he demonstrated his global operational leadership over a three-year tenure. His strategic insights have also been crucial in forging robust relationships with OEMs, driving corporate sales and growth.
