Summary
João Ramos is a finance leader with 17 years’ experience, currently running Google’s Share Buyback program in New York and previously managing a $15B+ FX hedging portfolio for Alphabet. He blends deep capital markets expertise with cross-functional execution—partnering with FP&A, tax, accounting and cash teams—to design hedging strategies, forecasts, and scenario analyses that reduce enterprise risk and cost. Prior roles at Aptiv honed his hands-on skills in derivatives, commodities and bond trading analysis, and he has a track record of delivering process automation and dashboarding to improve decision-making. Academically grounded with an International MSc in Finance (top grades) and a background in economics and aerospace engineering, he brings both quantitative rigor and technical curiosity to complex financial problems. Not obviously typical for a corporate financier, he also maintains a public-facing “I make things on the internet” GitHub presence, signaling an interest in building tools and automations beyond pure finance.
