What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my healthcare expertise in strategic roles, focusing on operational excellence and team leadership.

I am a healthcare executive and medical doctor with over a decade of progressive leadership experience in healthcare operations, clinical management, and administrative strategy. I hold a Master’s in Health Administration and have a proven track record of launching successful outpatient centers, leading cross-functional teams, and driving financial and operational performance. My strategic thinking and results-driven leadership style have been recognized throughout my career.

In my current role as General Manager at UROGINE SA and QLUB QUIRÓFANOS SAS, I lead the strategic, financial, and operational direction for two leading outpatient surgical organizations. I have successfully opened new surgical facilities, enhancing service availability and financial growth while implementing commercial and marketing strategies that have resulted in consistent patient growth and satisfaction. My previous roles have equipped me with the skills to optimize processes, engage stakeholders, and foster a culture of innovation and quality.
