Practice
For businesses that have outgrown their original way of working.
I design SOPs, build the administrative scaffolding, and create the operational infrastructure that lets a growing team scale without losing the discipline that got them this far. Proven across aquaculture, hospitality, real estate, and manufacturing — environments where the ops layer either compounds growth or quietly throttles it.
For founders whose strategy is sound but execution is fragmented.
I set up the project discipline — PMO structure, tooling (Jira, MS Planner, MS Project), reporting cadence, accountability — that translates a leadership team's strategy into tracked, accountable execution. Google Project Management certified, with hands-on PMO implementations in manufacturing and family-office contexts.
For organizations operating across Latin America or expanding into the region.
I build and run multi-jurisdiction operational structures — vendor ecosystems, 3PL and import/export coordination, compliance, financial reporting — across Latin America and the Caribbean. Bilingual native (EN/ES) with operational experience in Panama, Mexico, Brazil, Aruba, and beyond.
