I have 14+ years of experience in international tax and corporate law. Currently, I serve as the Regional Tax & Risk Senior Manager of Dollarcity based in Panama. Dollarcity is a rapidly growing Latin American value retailer with +500 conveniently located stores in El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia and Peru, offering a broad assortment of consumable products, general merchandise and seasonal items at select, fixed price points. Dollarcity's vision is to expand throughout LATAM.Dollarama (TSX:DOL), a recognized Canadian value retailer offering a broad assortment of consumable products, general merchandise and seasonal items both in-store and online, with 1,500+ locations across Canada, acquired a 50.1% interest in Dollarcity in 2019. In my role in Dollarcity, I lead, coordinate and manage the multiple operations and tasks of the tax & risk across all the jurisdictions where Dollarcity operates; I develop, propose, and implement strategies to achieve efficiency from a tax and legal standpoint and I also lead, coordinate and execute all tax-related matters regarding Dollarcity’s expansion through LATAM, ensuring the Group's tax compliance and reporting in all jurisdictions.Prior to joining Dollarcity in 2020, I was the Tax Planning & Compliance Manager for LifeMiles from 2016 to 2020 based in Costa Rica. LifeMiles is a standalone subsidiary of Avianca (one of the largest airlines in LATAM) and operates one of the largest and fastest-growing loyalty programs in LATAM, with more than 11M members and leading market positions in Colombia, Peru, and Central America. During my time there, I played a key role in the establishment of the tax team and in succesfully executing strategic tax projects that involved corporate restructurings, substance improvements and launch of new products.Prior to that, I worked as a Manager for the International Tax Services sub-service line at EY Central America, from 2010 to 2016 based in El Salvador. My work primarily involved providing expert tax advisory regional and multinational companies, particularly those in the US. I actively participated in a wide range of tax planning projects, corporate restructurings, cross-border transactions, tax due diligence processes, and mergers and acquisitions tax advisory projects.Furthermore, I hold a degree in Law from the Escuela Superior de Economía y Negocios (ESEN), where I also pursued additional studies in Finance, Accounting, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), and Marketing.I am passionate about contributing my expertise to drive success in complex tax and legal matters.
