About

Throughout my career, I have led organizations from three executive perspectives: global airline operations, general management, and international commercial strategy. I began my career leading complex airline cargo operations, managing large international teams, multi-country networks, service performance, and multi-million-dollar P&L responsibilities. I later served as Managing Director for the Americas of QIMA, where I led the regional business, drove growth initiatives, integrated acquisitions, and built high-performing organizations across multiple countries. Today, I am fully dedicated to international airline sales and commercial growth as Managing Director in the GSA industry, helping global airline partners expand market share, strengthen customer relationships, and accelerate sustainable revenue growth throughout the Americas. My experience combines commercial strategy, airline representation, business development, operational excellence, executive leadership, and technology-enabled transformation.
