In a nutshell:
Global Lens
I’m originally Colombian and have worked in North America, East Africa, Latin America, and Europe. My hybrid identity shapes the issues I care about and my preference for a diverse work environment where every day is different.
Curiosity
I went to law school to understand transnational crime in difficult settings, including mine sites, the ocean, and high conflict areas. I then realized that I was missing a piece of the puzzle and came back to graduate school to better understand business incentives and economic frameworks. Tough questions with no formulaic answers guide the work I do every day.
Teams
I’m a strong believer in the power of collaboration. Complex problems require collective brain power and constant iteration. Creativity and teamwork go hand in hand - we need both to address the most complex challenges of our time. Teamwork makes the dream work.
Nature
When not working, you’ll find me outside. Camping, swimming, hiking, and wandering give me the energy I need to effectively deliver results in the projects I’m working on.
