About Gustavo
Fractional CFO | Forecasting & Revenue Management | Advanced Analytics
Lambare, Paraguay - 12:18 am local time
I specialize in turning sales data into clear actions, not dashboards:
• What to reorder, how much, and when
• Which SKUs drive real profit vs trap cash
• When promotions increase volume vs destroy margin
My background combines:
• Demand forecasting & inventory planning (SKU-level)
• Price elasticity & promotion analysis
• Open-to-buy, safety stock, and reorder logic
• Advanced analytics (Python, Excel, SARIMAX, Prophet, XGBoost)
I’ve worked with retail, DTC, and consumer goods businesses where decisions must balance growth, service level, and cash.
Typical projects:
• Demand forecasting & inventory optimization
• Reorder point and safety stock design
• Price elasticity & promotion effectiveness analysis
• Open-to-buy and buying strategy support
• Executive-ready insights for decision making
If you need someone who can own the planning logic, explain it clearly, and help you make better decisions week after week, let’s talk.
