I run high-performance environments where operations, people, and logistics need to work seamlessly.My background is in managing hospitality operations for organisations including The Crown Estate, L’Oréal, and BNP Paribas. In these roles, I’ve led teams, coordinated corporate events, managed vendors, and ensured day-to-day operations run efficiently—both behind the scenes and on the ground.While my experience is rooted in hospitality, the core of my work has always been operations, coordination, and problem-solving in fast-paced environments. This is what’s driving my move into Facilities, Workplace, and Events coordination, where I can apply these skills within a corporate setting.I’m known for being organised, detail-focused, and calm under pressure—someone who keeps things running smoothly and solves issues before they escalate.Fluent in English and Spanish, Health & Safety certified, and comfortable working across teams and functions.If you’re hiring or want to connect around workplace operations, events, or logistics, feel free to reach out.
