What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and values strategic partnerships.

I am a bilingual international business professional with over 10 years of experience in global market expansion and strategic operations. My journey has taken me across the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean, where I have successfully led international business development initiatives and managed operational teams. I hold an MBA and a dual Bachelor’s degree in International Business and Marketing, which have equipped me with the skills to drive scalable growth and operational excellence.

Throughout my career, I have spearheaded international expansion efforts, doubling revenue year-over-year at Ardil Comercial, and built strategic partnerships that have enhanced business objectives across borders. My role as CEO at QUIMCA allowed me to direct company-wide operations, develop strategic growth plans, and launch innovation initiatives that significantly increased market share. I am passionate about optimizing workflows and ensuring high-quality service, as demonstrated in my position as a Senior Operations Analyst at Invisible Technologies, where I improved efficiency and delivery consistency through effective operational workflows.
