  • Despegar
    Cancellation forecasting model
    Despegar
    Aug 2023 - Nov 2023 (4 months)
    A significant achievement was spearheading the development of a comprehensive model to project the cancellation line in the Profit and Loss (P&L) statement. This initiative was particularly impactful as it addressed a previously overlooked aspect of financial forecasting. Taking the lead in creating a model from scratch not only contributed to a more accurate and insightful P&L projection but also demonstrated my ability to identify and capitalize on opportunities for process improvement within the finance domain.
