Business DevelopmentManagement and Business ConsultingBusiness ContinuityStrategic ManagementCustomer ExperienceCommunicationCustomer Demand PlanningLeadershipProblem SolvingBlockchainStakeholder ManagementWeb3.jsProject Delivery
I consider myself an accomplished and performance and purpose driven professional with more than 12 years of international experience managing business development operations, leading/delivering projects/programs, improving the customer experience journey and identifying and addressing customer needs to ensure business continuity and growth.
My energy is my superpower and motivation where I use it to look for opportunities to create new businesses in the companies that I enroll. I’ve created new teams, new products and new processes based on new ideas from the company results and teams' performance, aligned with business strategy, to increase customer journey value. Because I love what technology brings to our society, Blockchain/Web3 is already part of my learning journey. I have a business-minded executive with proven change leadership capabilities in a fast-paced and deadline-driven environment. I do have the ability to find and implement smart and elegant solutions to complex (problem-solving), multi-disciplinary problems. Excellent communication skills to drive things forward, empower teams, get things done, manage a range of internal and external stakeholders, and keep close my professional network relationships.
