About Diego de Lamo

I’m a senior operations and strategy leader with 15+ years of experience executing complex, regulated initiatives across development, education, and service-based organizations.I specialize in taking ideas from feasibility through execution — aligning strategy, capital, contracts, regulatory requirements, and cross-functional teams to deliver results.Over my career, I’ve led $10M+ initiatives, managed multiple concurrent projects, and worked hands-on with lenders, investors, legal counsel, public authorities, vendors, and internal stakeholders.My background blends entrepreneurial ownership with corporate execution. I’ve built organizations from inception, structured capital and financing, navigated permitting and compliance, overseen design and construction, and managed long-term operations — including a successful investor-backed exit.Most recently, I’ve served in a senior leadership role overseeing large-scale development projects, with responsibility across feasibility analysis, financial oversight, contracts, and execution.I’m particularly effective in environments that value clarity, accountability, and thoughtful decision-making — especially where work spans multiple disciplines and stakeholders.I’m open to senior operations, strategy, and program leadership roles offering strong compensation, solid benefits, and flexibility (remote, hybrid, or Miami-based).Core strengths: operations & program leadership, financial planning, contract negotiation, regulatory navigation, and cross-functional execution.Bilingual: English & Spanish.
