About

Finding a remote Operations or Talent leader who actually understands both sides — the people and the process — is harder than it sounds. I help US tech and BPO companies build high-performing remote teams and run operations that scale. As Operations Manager & Talent Acquisition Specialist at Cornerstone Global Partners (3+ years), I sit where strategy, legal compliance, and people management converge. What makes my profile different: → JD + MBA — I bring legal rigor to contracts, compliance, and risk, not just operational thinking → Trilingual (English · Spanish · German) — I bridge communication across markets and cultures without losing context → End-to-end talent: I source, screen, interview, and onboard — fully remote, fully accountable What I've delivered at Cornerstone: ✓ Led legal department operations and managed key client accounts across the full engagement lifecycle ✓ Supported CMO-level content strategy and built executive presentations for C-suite stakeholders ✓ Coordinated cross-functional teams across multiple countries and time zones I'm currently open to remote Operations Manager or Talent Acquisition roles with US-based companies in tech, BPO, or professional services. If you're scaling a remote team and need someone who can own both the people strategy and the operational backbone — let's connect. 📩 [email protected]
