Senior Customer Success and Project Manager driving commercial growth and delivery excellence across LATAM.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a senior role in project or customer success management where I can lead cross-functional teams, drive commercial growth, and deliver measurable customer outcomes in a remote, multicultural setting.

I am a multicultural Business Administrator with over 15 years' experience in customer success, project management, and commercial strategy across LATAM and the Caribbean. I excel at translating strategic goals into measurable outcomes, leading cross-functional teams, and delivering strong commercial results in remote, multicultural environments.

As a senior project and category leader, I have driven growth and operational improvements—delivering 90% on-time project deliveries at Constructora Podium and achieving double-digit sales and visibility increases at Mondelez and Diageo. I also founded and grew an e-commerce toy business, reaching 100MM COP in first-year sales and securing retail partnerships for a family brand.

I bring analytical decision-making, precision, and a growth mindset to roles where structure, accountability, and excellent stakeholder communication are required. I am seeking opportunities as a Project Manager, Customer Success Manager, or Customer Experience Specialist to continue delivering impact and scaling customer-centric operations.
