About Cristina Fernández C.
Bilingual Project & Operations Specialist with 5+ years of experience leading talent acquisition, project coordination, and service delivery initiatives for international development and mission-driven organizations. Proven expertise in Service-Level Agreement (SLA) management, workforce planning, and cross-functional collaboration across Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe. Since the beginning of my career, I have been committed to advancing sustainable development in Latin America by partnering with organizations that foster inclusive economic growth and regional impact. I bring a data-driven, people-centered approach to solving complex operational challenges, optimizing service delivery, and building high-performing, diverse teams. As a strategic leader, I have successfully directed recruitment operations for global projects, implemented process improvements that enhance efficiency, and led DEI initiatives that drive employee engagement and retention. My experience includes stakeholder engagement, compliance management, and large-scale event planning, including directing SHAPE NAC 2023, the largest regional Global Shapers Community conference of 2023. Fluent in English and Spanish, I am passionate about contributing to organizations that prioritize impact, operational excellence, and inclusive leadership.
