@itg506
I lead enterprise transformation, executive reporting, and process automation that improve global business performance.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior program management and business transformation leader with 15+ years of experience across Citibank, Intel, and Costa Rica’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Telecommunications. At Citi, I lead Agile initiatives involving executive scorecards, digital reporting, automation, and cross-functional collaboration across Technology, Finance, Risk, and Business. I have helped reduce executive reporting timelines by 10–14 business days and delivered more than eight reporting automations.
Previously, I led global process transformation at Intel, reducing cycle times from three to four weeks to approximately one week and identifying significant annual savings.
Alongside my corporate experience, I hold a degree in Marketing and advise companies across industries—including food and beverage, transportation, and technology—on strengthening their digital presence. I develop communication and digital strategies that clarify brand positioning, connect organizations with their target audiences, and translate business objectives into practical digital initiatives.
I hold an MBA, speak fluent English and native Spanish, and am based in Costa Rica. I am seeking fully remote opportunities in Senior Program Management, Business Transformation, Strategy and Operations, Marketing or PMO leadership where I can turn complex priorities into structured execution and measurable results.
