For more than 20 years, I have been helping leaders, executives, teams and organizations develop their leadership capabilities, manage change and achieve greater professional impact.
My career combines business, leadership and coaching. I started my professional journey in Economics and Finance, working in international organizations and multinational companies, before dedicating myself to executive coaching and leadership development.
Today, I work internationally with senior leaders and organizations, particularly those facing growth, transformation, new responsibilities or complex challenges.
International Experience
My professional experience has taken me across Europe, Latin America and the United States, working with people from many different cultures and professional backgrounds.
I have coached more than 100 leaders within the United Nations System, including Directors, Country Representatives, Managers and Supervisors.
My work with the United Nations has included organizations such as:
FAO · United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC) · UN Secretariat · Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) · United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) · UNAIDS · World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
I have also worked with companies and institutions including:
Iberdrola · JP Morgan · Telefónica · NH Hotels · Hidden Hotel · Llao Llao Resort Golf & Spa · INTA · ALTEC · National University of Río Negro · Argentine Ministry of Economy & Chamber of Commerce.
This international experience has taught me that, although organizations and cultures may differ, leaders everywhere face many of the same fundamental questions:
How can I lead more effectively?
How can I communicate better?
How can I inspire and develop my team?
How can I manage change without losing sight of people?
How can I perform at a high level while maintaining my well-being?
These are the questions I help my clients explore and transform into concrete actions.
Business Background
Before becoming an executive coach, I developed a strong background in finance, management and organizational processes.
At Iberdrola, I worked in management control, internal audit and project control in Spain and Chile. I was also a member of the Management Committee and participated in Strategic Planning and organizational projects.
Before I worked in International Banking, in Santander Bank and as a Financial Analyst at the Inter-American Development Bank in D.C.
This experience continues to influence my coaching today.
I understand the reality of organizations from the inside: business objectives, financial pressures, organizational structures, strategic decisions and, above all, the people who have to make things happen.
That is why my coaching is practical and business-oriented, while always keeping the human dimension at the center.
My Approach to Leadership
I believe that effective leadership starts with self-leadership.
Before we can effectively lead others, we need to understand ourselves: our strengths, our assumptions, our emotions, our behaviors and the impact we have on the people around us.
From there, leadership expands in different directions:
- Leading yourself.
- Leading relationships.
- Leading teams.
- Leading through change.
- Creating results while taking care of people.
This philosophy led me to develop my 360° Leadership Approach, which looks at leadership from a complete perspective rather than focusing only on management skills.
My objective is to help leaders become more self-aware, effective, confident, adaptable and capable of creating positive change around them to get unstoppable results.
Executive Coaching
My coaching is designed for leaders who want to:
-
Strengthen their leadership presence and impact.
-
Take on a new leadership position successfully.
-
Improve communication and relationships.
-
Lead and develop high-performing teams.
-
Navigate organizational change.
-
Manage difficult conversations and complex situations.
-
Improve decision-making and strategic thinking.
-
Increase their confidence and influence.
-
Develop greater resilience and professional well-being.
-
Prepare for important career transitions.
My role is to help my clients find their own answers, see new possibilities and turn insight into action.
Leadership Development & Team Coaching
In addition to individual Executive Coaching, I design and facilitate leadership and team-development programmes for organizations.
My work includes:
-
Leadership development.
-
Team effectiveness.
-
Team coaching.
-
Coaching skills for managers.
-
Communication and interpersonal skills.
-
Leadership during organizational change.
-
Strategic thinking and influence.
-
Resilience and professional well-being.
-
Creating a coaching culture within organizations.
I also created the 360° Leadership Program: From Leadership to Teamship, an ICF-accredited programme designed to help leaders develop both their individual leadership and their ability to co-create effective teams.
International Speaker & Coach Educator
I am an ICF Coach Educator and international speaker, sharing my experience in leadership, coaching, team effectiveness and professional development.
I have delivered programmes, workshops and conferences for international organizations and professional communities in Europe, Latin America and the United States.
I particularly enjoy creating spaces where leaders can stop, reflect, challenge their usual way of thinking and discover new ways of approaching their work and their relationships.
I was Speaker at the 2026 ICF Latin American Coaching Congress in Santiago de Chile.

The Person behind the Professional
Although my professional background is rooted in economics, business and leadership, I have always been interested in the wider dimensions of human development.
My interests include music, theatre, singing, meditation and personal development.
These experiences have reinforced something I consider essential in coaching:
-
People are much more than their professional roles.
-
Behind every executive, manager or leader there is a person with ambitions, doubts, strengths, challenges and aspirations.
-
Understanding that whole person is essential to creating meaningful and lasting change.
I believe that people are capable of much more than they sometimes imagine.
My work is to help leaders pause, gain perspective, discover new possibilities and turn those possibilities into action.
When a leader develops, the impact goes beyond the individual.
It can influence a team, an organization and the people around them.
That is what makes leadership development so meaningful to me: helping people grow while helping organizations become stronger, more effective and more human.
