What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead strategy and growth initiatives—building business models, launching innovation, and improving performance with clear metrics—partnering with SMEs and enterprise teams across international markets.

I’m a trilingual business executive with more than 20 years of international experience in corporate strategy, business development, innovation management, market intelligence, and organizational transformation across Chile and Europe. I bring a hands-on, execution-focused approach that turns strategy into measurable performance.

As an Independent Strategy & Business Model Consultant (2019–Present), I’ve advised 80+ SMEs, achieving a 65% approval rate in seed-capital applications and implementing growth and Balanced Scorecard initiatives. Previously, I managed 25+ partnerships and trained 400+ entrepreneurs while coordinating productive development at INACAP (2020–2023). Earlier roles strengthened my foundation in venture-style planning, stakeholder management, and financial decision-making.

I’ve also contributed as a Lecturer at INACAP & Chile Adventist University (2005–2023), teaching strategy, finance, economics, entrepreneurship, and marketing while directing innovation initiatives. From Accenture Services to CameronPartners and Rentax XXI, I’ve led cost-reduction programs, built financing strategies for startups, and managed restructuring and feasibility work—always with performance management at the center.
