Operations Manager
Ten years building operational systems across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe. Bilingual native English and Spanish, professional Portuguese. Currently consulting in Panama and Mexico.
Practice
For businesses that have outgrown their original way of working.
I design SOPs, build administrative scaffolding, and create the operational infrastructure that lets a growing team scale without losing discipline. 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 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.
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.
