I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) operations and product design leader with more than ten years of experience driving sales growth and product innovation across global markets. I thrive under pressure, adapt quickly, and deliver results in highly competitive environments. I enjoy the challenge of sales and negotiations, building trust with clients and suppliers, and finding strategic solutions that expand market presence while strengthening profitability. Over my career, I have managed full product lifecycle, from concept and sourcing through production and distribution, ensuring that creative design always aligns with commercial success. A defining part of my journey has been building a fully remote career in industrial design, an industry that has long considered such work impossible. By leveraging digital tools, cross-border partnerships, and clear communication, I proved that complex design and operations can thrive without geographical limits. This experience has sharpened my ability to lead diverse teams, manage global vendors, and deliver consistent results under challenging conditions. I bring a strategic mindset and a proven track record of implementing scalable systems that enhance both efficiency and customer experience. Fully equipped for remote collaboration, I am ready to apply this expertise to deliver growth and long-term value.
