ABOUT CARLA RAMOS

I’m a positive, curious, and dynamic professional, with a track record of analyzing business operations to drive strategic decision-making. My journey began in the tech startup ecosystem, and I subsequently ventured into entrepreneurship, launching my own business. This experience has inspired me to continually strive for improvement, arming me to excel in high-paced environments. As the Director of Operations at Global Startups, I have the privilege of aligning my passion with my profession, staying connected with the vibrant startup community, and supporting entrepreneurs worldwide in their business growth journeys. Having personally navigated the challenges of relocating to a foreign country with a distinct culture, while concurrently establishing a business, has afforded me invaluable insights. It has sharped my ability to understand the hurdles and requirements of the startups and work collaboratively with them to anticipate both pitfalls and opportunities they may encounter during their expansion. As a team player, I find immense gratification in fostering robust cross-functional relationships, both internally and externally. My dedication to operational excellence and commitment to promoting a customer-centric culture highlight my professional values. Working for growing companies, such as Global Startups, has been a source of great satisfaction.
