José David Salas Torres

Financial discipline architect with 15+ years of progressive experience across multi-divisional commercial operations, P&L ownership, and margin governance — built entirely within operating environments rather than advisory firms. Combines forensic-grade analytical rigor with direct field execution: enforces SKU-level profitability controls, structures procurement mix decisions through data, and removes structural cost distortions that standard reporting leaves invisible. Delivered $500K in gross margin expansion through a Pareto-based procurement rule, reduced DSO by 12 days via biometric invoice validation, and neutralized $131K in cross-subsidization through a forensic P&L audit — each outcome the product of systems thinking applied at the transactional level. Currently operating Elite XOps, a boutique consulting practice specializing in sales automation architecture and cash flow optimization for SMEs, while pursuing the next senior FP&A mandate in a commercially intensive, data-driven organization.
