About

I’m a strategic and people-driven leader with 17+ years of experience across the tech, media, finance and retail industries — bringing together expertise in talent strategy, operations, customer success, and organizational development.

I thrive in distributed, multicultural settings, having worked with clients and teams across the U.S. and LATAM. I bring a calm, analytical approach to problem-solving — combining data with empathy to make smart decisions that improve team performance, client outcomes, and business alignment. 🔹 Strategic Workforce Planning & Recruitment 🔹 Remote & Cross-Cultural Team Leadership 🔹 Customer Success & Client Retention 🔹 Organizational Development & Performance Management 🔹 Talent Analytics, Resource Optimization, and Budget Control I’m passionate about building inclusive cultures, empowering teams, and helping companies grow through the power of people.
