My work spans executive search, talent assessment, workforce administration, and technology-supported HR solutions. I work with organizations seeking to grow thoughtfully and build stronger teams. My business footprint spans the United States and Latin America, with Talento Iberoamérica extending our presence to Europe, specifically Spain and Portugal.

Over my career, I have managed annual revenue and business volumes exceeding $23 million and led direct and indirect workforce structures of up to 10,000 employees.
