About

Since my childhood I have had the opportunity to be immersed in an international environment.  Thanks to this, I have been fortunate to live in several countries and cities (Quito, Moscow, New York/Fort Lee, Geneva and Washington DC) and to learn from other cultures and ways of thinking, as well as several languages. Professionally speaking, I have had the privilege to work in the private sector, in the Ecuadorian public sector, for international organizations and in the academy, which has allowed me to weave important and diverse networks of contact in Ecuador and around the world.  I have had the pleasure of creating and directing institutions and departments always with a multidisciplinary perspective and focusing primarily on international matters.  I am an analytical, strategic, persistent and open-minded human being, who believes in essential principles such as respect, honesty, loyalty, and in work matters, in the importance of teamwork to achieve sustainable results.
