What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my leadership skills and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a professional with solid experience in commercial leadership, project management, and business development. My proven track record includes managing multidisciplinary teams and creating effective sales strategies that drive growth and success. I have a strong ability to lead technological initiatives and implement organizational improvements that enhance operational efficiency.

In my recent role as a Digital Ecosystem Specialist at Banco G&T Continental, I successfully implemented strategies for the development and penetration of the bank's digital product portfolio. My coordination with IT and innovation departments has been crucial for continuous improvement. Previously, I served as an Enterprise Project Manager at Crunch DNA, Inc., where I led commercial initiatives across LATAM, developing sales channels and strategic alliances that significantly improved lead generation and customer conversion.
