Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMario Urena is an AR and finance leader with 15+ years driving billing, collections, and operational transformations across tech and financial services, currently leading one of AWS’s largest global AR teams from Costa Rica. He combines hands-on process redesign, automation and escalation frameworks to deliver measurable cash-flow gains—recently cutting DSO by days and reducing delinquency through interest-charge rollouts. Mario has a track record of scaling shared services (Equifax, Align) and redesigning team structures (Stryker) to boost productivity, dispute resolution speed and cash collections. Known for a people-first leadership style, he mentors high-performing teams while aligning AR strategy with sales and finance objectives. Unusually for a finance leader, his background spans sales operations and contact center governance, giving him a rare blend of revenue-generation insight and technical execution. Currently pursuing an Executive MBA, he pairs strategic finance education with deep operational experience to drive sustainable improvements.
