Carlos Sendrea

I am a strategic and analytical professional recognised for turning complex operational challenges into clear, commercially viable solutions. With 18+ years in analytics and finance, I have helped organisations unlock multi-million-dollar savings, streamline workflows, and embed governance frameworks that scale. My expertise spans financial modelling (DCF, NPV, IRR), data mining, and BI automation, but what sets me apart is the ability to translate insights into strategic action, partnering with senior leaders to shape decisions that balance cost, risk, and operational realities. From healthcare procurement to global supply chains, I deliver strategic recommendations backed by rigorous analysis and operational insight, improving performance and resilience. I bring proven capability in process optimisation, executive reporting, and stakeholder engagement to deliver measurable outcomes.
