About Me

Driving learning through design and technology

I’ve spent over 20 years helping organizations transform their talent through training. I firmly believe that well-designed and well-executed learning is one of the most powerful levers for change, both individually and organizationally.
My approach combines experience in instructional design, program facilitation, and management of complex training projects. I’ve worked with major international corporations and specialized consulting firms, always committed to generating real and measurable impact in every program.

Work Approach

Throughout my career, I’ve developed a working style based on high quality standards, ability to coordinate with diverse teams, and adaptation to different organizational contexts.
I’m accustomed to working in international environments, reporting to different countries and using English as the primary working language. I’ve managed projects that integrate multiple disciplines (pedagogy, technology, design) and I know how to coordinate with different levels within organizations, from operational teams to senior management.
My experience has taught me that the best training programs are those that balance solid pedagogical design, well-applied technology, and close learner support. That’s the combination I seek to bring to every project.
