proudly COLOMBIAN

I grew up in a country shaped by the legacy of conflict, inequality, and corruption — but also by resilience, creativity, and hope. Today, Colombia is recognised globally for its rich culture, human potential, and ambition. I am proudly Colombian, and my background continues to shape my values and global outlook.

SUSTAINABLE 

ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET

We face major ethical and practical challenges in how we consume, trade, and build businesses. I believe entrepreneurship can be a force for good — one that respects the environment, prioritises social justice, and creates sustainable value. I bring this mindset into every project and partnership I pursue.

INCLUSIVE LEADER

I believe diversity drives better outcomes. I’ve completed formal training in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), and I work to embed inclusive thinking into strategy, workplace culture, and team development. Inclusion is not a checkbox — it’s a competitive advantage and a human responsibility.
