Experience

Co-founder & President
Proxima S.R.L
Jan 2004 — Present · Boston, IT
As Founder and President of a boutique independent consulting firm with 10 associates, I lead compliance, risk management, and business transformation initiatives for global clients, including Dell Technologies, Mitsubishi Chemical Group, Nestlé, Enel, Boehringer Mannheim, Kraft Europe, Max Mara, Lyreco, STMicroelectronics, EMC, Edison, and government institutions. My work focuses on applying innovation strategies, risk frameworks, and ISO standards compliance to strengthen organizational resilience in competitive markets.Key Engagements & Impact Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) for an IT Services Firm Challenge: No structured ERM framework to assess and prioritize risks. Solution: Implemented a comprehensive ERM system, integrating Archer for automated risk assessment. Results: Improved risk prioritization, reduced exposure, and enhanced resource allocation. Innovation Marketplace for a Public Industry Association Challenge: Lack of a centralized platform to connect providers, clients, and stakeholders. Solution: Developed an IT marketplace for bidding, project supervision, and execution governance. Results: Increased IT project volume, improving efficiency, transparency, and competitiveness. Systematic Innovation Management for an Industry Leader Challenge: Unstructured innovation efforts led to inefficient resource use. Solution: Designed and launched an innovation portfolio with a Systematic Innovation Management System (SIMS). Results: Streamlined R&D governance, optimizing resource allocation for higher-impact innovations.Across these engagements, I align strategy, governance, and technology to help organizations navigate complex regulations, strengthen risk management, and drive innovation-led transformation.

Current company

REACH! Asian & Asian Diaspora Retention & Recruitment Center

Political Organizations · 20 employees · Founded 1994 · Berkeley, California, United States

REACH! is the Asian/Pacific Islander Recruitment and Retention Center at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1994, REACH! began with a handful of committed folks, as a program under the Asian Student Union (ASU) at UC Berkeley to target “Asian Pacific American, high school students, especially those who are underrepresented, low-income, and non-college tracked”. Its goals were two-fold: 1) promoting higher education as an attainable goal and 2) empowering students through “building ethnic pride and programs that foster community activism and support APA youth culture”. As REACH! grew organizationally, the vision and purpose of REACH! grew with it. While the mission remained, “the service and empowerment of recent immigrant and urban Asian Pacific Americans living in at-risk life situations,” we added on that “Our goal is to promote higher education as a means to empower ourselves and improve the economic and social conditions facing our communities.” We saw that REACH! had a unique role on campus and in the API community at large, because REACH! was not just going to increase the numbers of underrepresented Asians at Berkeley but REACH! would be a training ground for future educators, activists, and leaders who would address society’s injustices through their life’s work. Thus, we created programs to raise political awareness, build coalitions, develop youth leaders, and build leadership in ourselves. Each year, programs have been refined and recreated by (insanely) dedicated and intelligent coordinators, who look for a better way to do things. However, our single most important legacy is the steady stream of community leaders we have and will produce. REACH! Mission Statement: "Committed to the service, empowerment, and mobilization of immigrant, refugee, and underserved Asian/Pacific Islanders by promoting higher education to empower ourselves and challenge the economic and social inequalities facing our communities" Educate, Empower, Change.
