PROFILE
With my extensive work experience in several countries, and academics in the fields of Business
Administration, Journalism, and Law, I implement practical and useful perspectives that challenge
conventionality and provide solutions for everyone, with a focus on personal and collective advancement.
I am looking for a company that, no matter the size, is seeking a leader with out-of-the-box thinking.
