EXPERIENCE:

For the past 8 years I have worked in very fast paced and demanding environments where I have acquired valuable experience working on projects for top blue chip companies from many different industries (Media, Telco, Utilities, IT, Hotels and Non-Profits) and have developed the ability to work under pressure in ever-changing situations being able to meet tight deadlines.

I think it is also worth mentioning that I have experience:

- Working with cross-functional teams (product management, account managers, partners, clients and third party vendors), getting others to get their jobs done right and on time.

- Planning and monitoring other team member’s work and training them in the use of the proper working methodology.

ABOUT ME:

I consider myself as being independent, flexible, energetic, confident, personable, and a clear thinker. I am also a team worker with leadership abilities, ambitious, reliable and very conscientious.

In any project, personal or professional, I always try to find the best way to improve how things work by adding value to the team.

I also speak fluent English and Spanish, and have a conversational level of French which together with my willingness to travel has allowed me to work effectively in international environments (I have worked in France, Germany, Sweden and Romania).

I know that at some point in my life I want to create my own startup, so open to meeting people with same interest.
