Profile
Gabriel Guarda Ferrada has always been drawn to structure, logic, and numbers.
From an early age, he excelled in mathematics, shaping the way he approached problems – step by step, with precision and order. Alongside this, his values-driven Catholic education instilled in him a strong sense of responsibility, integrity, and consistency – principles that continue to guide his work today.
Over more than 30 years, Gabriel has developed his expertise across finance, administration, and controlling, working within both multinational organisations and regional businesses. His experience spans leadership of finance teams, implementation of control systems, and close support to executive management in decision-making. Beyond financial oversight, he has contributed to business improvements, including the reorganisation of internal structures and operational processes that strengthened performance and growth.
What distinguishes Gabriel is how he approaches finance.
He does not see numbers as a final output — he sees them as a starting point. Behind every figure is a reflection of a business reality: of performance, of risk, of opportunity. The expertise lies in the interpretation of that information, the connection to the broader business context, and translating it into clear, actionable insights that support better decisions. His strength is in his holistic view of the business, connecting financial data to operations and strategy.
At Deep Sur, Gabriel leads all financial and administrative functions across multiple countries, working closely with accounting partners globally and internal teams to ensure consistency, accuracy, and control. Through cash flow management, reporting, forecasting, and continuous analysis, he enables businesses to move forward with clarity, contributing to decisions that are aligned with long-term objectives.
Guided by responsibility, precision, and transparency, Gabriel sees finance as more than a control function. For him, it is a critical pillar of trust and teamwork — one that underpins every decision, every investment, and every step forward.
"Managing finance across multiple countries in LATAM is more than financial control – it requires navigating different currencies, regulations, and knowing how to respond to audits. The key is to balance a global perspective with strong local knowledge – supported by trusted partners in each country."
