Bogota, D.C., Capital District, Colombia
I am PMP®-certified Project Manager, and certified Knowledge Manager (CKM) professional, who speaks seven languages. I am passionate about strategic projects and Learning & Development initiatives. • If you're here, you’re probably looking for someone who doesn’t just coordinate tasks, but actually makes things happen. I work on projects where there are multiple stakeholders, political pressure, significant budgets, and little room for improvisation. That’s exactly where I perform best. • I have led initiatives in Europe and Latin America, ranging from development finance to major road infrastructure projects and educational reconstruction programs. I move comfortably between government ministries, international technical teams, and high-level strategic decision-making. I understand the financial language—but also the human one. Projects move forward when both are aligned. • I’m not interested in simply adding more lines to my CV. I’m interested in leaving behind stronger institutions, more robust processes, and teams capable of sustaining results long after the project ends. If you’re looking for a strategic perspective combined with disciplined execution and strong financial judgment, let’s connect. Contact: [email protected] (Colombia) +57 320 9300 606
