About

I consider myself passionate about people and the world we live in, and I’ve built my career around turning that passion into action. My expertise is bridging business strategy and global purpose through impact investing, project leadership and multicultural team management.

With more than 5 years of experience designing and executing global initiatives in sustainability, social innovation and education, I manage $500K+ social investment budgets and lead cross-regional teams across Latin America, North America, Europe, India, and the Middle East. This has given me first-hand understanding of how to navigate complex cultural and operational landscapes.

My background in Applied Economis and International Relations has shaped the way I approach challenges: I combine analytical thinking with the human aspect of bringing together different perspectives, understanding needs, and translating high-level global strategies into tangible value for both communities and organizations. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with governments, NGOs, and executives to ensure alignment, measurable outcomes, and long-term value.
