What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead end-to-end partnerships and business development, align stakeholders, and drive measurable growth across LATAM and international markets—using structured programs, strong execution, and data-informed decisions.

I’m a business development and partnerships professional with 25+ years of experience in the education sector, specializing in strategic partnerships, stakeholder management, and cross-functional execution across LATAM and international markets. I lead partnership lifecycle work end-to-end—from opportunity identification and relationship building to execution and performance alignment—structuring initiatives that drive engagement, expansion, and long-term institutional value.

In my roles, I’ve managed international partnerships across Europe and the US, led end-to-end program execution from planning to delivery and evaluation, and improved processes through data-informed decision-making. I bring strong cross-cultural communication and the ability to translate complex needs into actionable strategies that generate long-term value.
