Over 7 years of experience advising and supporting organizations of all sizes to transform and grow their business. Started off supporting projects that would help governments in the Latin America & Caribbean region to increase foreign investments in targeted sectors. Then switched to supporting and managing large digital transformation and strategic sourcing accounts in North America, after migrating to Canada in 2018. Today, my focus is working with small and medium companies to help them integrate new technologies and tap into emerging markets.

Prior to consulting, I spent 14+ years across various roles covering entrepreneurship, office administration, IT sales and services, IT course administration and quality assurance, creative industries, factory and warehouse operations, and construction
