What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead multi-stakeholder projects where I can optimize logistics and operations with KPI-driven management, AI-enabled productivity, and strong cost control—owning scope, timelines, and budget while building stakeholder alignment.

I’m a results-driven Project Management & Logistics Consultant with 9+ years of experience leading multi-stakeholder initiatives across public and private sectors in Honduras, the United States, and the Central American and Caribbean region. My focus is delivering on scope, time, and budget by optimizing workflows, logistics operations, and resource allocation.

In my current role, I provide logistics process analysis and design to improve transportation, warehousing, and distribution operations—using KPIs, AI tools, and logistics best practices to strengthen strategic decision-making. I’ve also reduced project costs through renegotiating vendor contracts and alternative methods, while maintaining quality and ensuring compliance through systematic documentation review.

Earlier, as a Technology Projects Director, I led institutional modernization and digital transformation by designing and implementing customized software systems, achieving a 65% increase in operational efficiency. I coordinated inter-institutional teams to ensure technological, operational, and regulatory alignment, designed and implemented the first digital voting system for a Children’s Congress, and enabled adoption through training, documentation, and workshops.
