I specialize in aligning innovation with business growth, consistently turning complex challenges into measurable outcomes that enhance market positioning and profitability. I bring a sharp business acumen and deep understanding of market dynamics, which allow me to anticipate trends, design impactful innovation strategies, and execute initiatives that deliver tangible results. My leadership style is focused on building high-performance, scalable teams that drive product and process innovation with the end goal of improving patient outcomes and creating long-term value for the business. Since 2016 at PRIM, I’ve led the development of a multidisciplinary innovation team and implemented a results-driven innovation culture. This has translated into a transformed product portfolio, successful digitalization of core processes, and enhanced operational efficiencies—positioning the company as a leading player in medical technologies and devices. Known for my high resilience and continuous learning mindset, I adapt quickly to change, lead teams through transformation, and cultivate innovation holistically: not just through breakthrough products, but also by evolving internal capabilities, driving cross-functional collaboration, and embedding innovation into the core of business strategy.

Escuela de Posgrado La Salle

La diferencia fundamental entre un gestor y un líder es que el primero se enfoca en el resultado y en el proceso que hay que seguir para alcanzarlo, mientras que el segundo se enfoca en la meta que hay más allá del resultado a corto plazo y en las personas que le van a ayudar a alcanzarla. Para un gestor, las personas son un recurso para conseguir los objetivos. Para un líder, las personas son el medio para llegar a la meta. La gestión se puede delegar. El liderazgo no. Los líderes han de saber gestionar el cambio y los grandes líderes son los que lideran la transformación.
