Our recommendation
Why we recommend Juan.
Recommended for a client who needs someone to own an operation rather than assist with one. He currently directs five functions and a team of 85 for a healthcare group, coordinating execution across multiple workstreams, running process reengineering and revenue-cycle optimisation, and reporting progress and risk to a board. Before that he held KPI and variance oversight across a 70-project portfolio with combined CAPEX above $2 billion, aligning project managers and senior stakeholders to a common standard.
He has also built and run a four million square foot distribution centre with cross-border logistics and warehousing P&L, and supervised budgeting, forecasting and risk on a $1.5 billion rail construction programme. Industrial engineer, PMP certified, MBA from Texas McCombs. Strong fit for a client with real operational complexity, multiple workstreams or a team that needs a manager rather than a coordinator.

The assessment
English and writing
English at fluent with an MBA from the Texas McCombs School of Business behind it. The written output is senior: he reports KPIs, financial statements and liquidity positions to a board, and spent six years reporting variances, risks and performance updates to international financing institutions, which is writing that gets scrutinised by people lending hundreds of millions. He also designed contract management procedures across a 70-project portfolio and wrote audit procedures for strategic sourcing processes, so documentation other people have to follow is familiar territory. Portuguese at professional working level alongside.
Remote readiness
His consulting year, July 2024 to August 2025, was independent practice advising multiple companies, so he has already run his own distributed workload without an employer’s structure around him. More to the point for an operations seat, his whole career is coordinating people he is not in a room with: project managers across four international financing programmes, operations managers setting inventory provisions, cross-border logistics teams, and a PMO spanning a 380km brownfield and 700km greenfield rail construction. His toolkit is ERP systems, Power BI, SQL, Excel, earned value management and project scheduling and risk software.
Cultural fit
He is a systems-and-standards operator rather than a firefighter. The pattern across twenty years is the same: find the inconsistency, design the procedure, hold people to it. He designed contract management procedures to bring a 70-project portfolio into line with company policy, developed audit procedures for critical sourcing workflows, implemented control procedures in ERP systems at Vale, and held interannual budget variance to 5% on a $1.5 billion programme. An industrial engineering degree and PMP certification sit underneath that, which is a profession built on process discipline. He also has an EU work permit, which signals someone who has planned for mobility.
