   As the Founding Partner, I lead strategic projects designed to boost operational efficiency, cultivate leadership, and enhance organizational culture for clients across various industries. I focus on driving measurable results and maximizing client satisfaction and retention, ensuring that each engagement delivers tangible value. I secured an 80% client retention rate and over 90% satisfaction by spearheading transformative initiatives for 30+ global organizations across multiple industries. I reversed four consecutive years of losses for an Asparagus Exports Division, improving EBITDA from -20% to +20% within a year by executing strategic operational and financial initiatives. I propelled Hewlett Packard (HP) from #3 to #1 in regional leadership perception in just four months by implementing advanced leadership development programs. I elevated Ajinomoto Peru to the top-rated workplace in the region, increasing their employee engagement index by 3 points in one year, driving higher operational performance. I drove a 15% productivity surge and generated $15M in profits at Agricola Cerro Prieto by raising employee engagement scores from 62% to 85% within a year. I helped 10+ companies avoid significant regulatory fines by implementing comprehensive gender equality policies to ensure full legal compliance. I filled 9 out of 11 leadership positions at Agricola Cerro Prieto through a targeted High Performers and Succession Pool strategy, resulting in 82% of internal managers being promoted to leadership roles. I delivered over hours of executive leadership training, achieving a 90% satisfaction rate and measurable leadership growth across the organizations I’ve supported. I sustained business operations during the COVID-19 pandemic by navigating severe lockdowns in Latin America, using adaptive strategies to maintain resilient client engagement.
