About 

Architect by profession with DNA of creation and design, leading cross functional team, strategy and project marketing experience with a record of increasing responsibility. I am an excellent compass to coordinate and guide teams and projects with 14 years of experience in real estate, consulting firms and B2B companies.

I withhold a high level of capacity for reactive creativity in order to make things evolve and improve. I am passionate about people, positive environments with a lot of drive energy.

I am attracted to cultures based on sociocracy, with a predictive touch in prudence and absolute respect in collaboration to achieve common goals.

Being bilingual in Spanish and English allows me to adapt quickly in multicultural settings.

For me nothing is impossible and it is only a temporary matter.
