Summary
David Duarte is a supervisory loan specialist with 8+ years of cross-border finance, risk and analytical experience, currently leading review teams at the U.S. Small Business Administration to protect and recover program funds. He combines macroeconomic research and market strategy expertise—honed at roles with GE Capital, UniCredit and as a Latin American economist—with hands-on process design that tripled decision production and introduced transparent KPI-driven performance frameworks. Comfortable in startup and field settings, he has built cost-accounting models at BetterCloud, developed go-to-market recommendations for Syngenta, and advised local B-Corps on operational improvements. David’s work blends quantitative forecasting with qualitative, interview-driven insight, a pattern dating back to immersive field projects in the Amazon and U.S. agriculture markets. He is bilingual and regionally fluent across Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Europe, enabling rapid adaptation to new cultural and regulatory environments. Curious and creative, he even uses raytracer coding as a personal “hello world” to explore technical problem-solving beyond finance.
