A passionate, Latin American nature paired with a rational, "German" approach defines me and shapes my actions.

Therefore, after completing a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences in Chile, I earned a diploma in Economics from the University of Bonn. My initial career focused on sales and marketing; I then acquired additional expertise in product management and development within the tooling industry. I worked as a project manager in the automotive and aerospace sectors, was responsible for markets throughout Europe as a market manager, and later served for many years as the "right hand" of a CEO. In this role, I oversaw several M&A projects and learned firsthand how crucial professional management and support are for aligning corporate culture and personnel.

With Headsahead, I've now moved "to the other side" of consulting. This change in perspective gives me the opportunity to think "out of the box" when it comes to finding the right person for the job.

Discovering personnel consulting as a field where I can utilize all my strengths feels ideal – especially since I can also contribute my knowledge from training as a coach and trainer, and in the future also from an MBA in business psychology.

I am married and have a daughter and a son. I like extremes and enjoy the peace and quiet of a good book just as much as the chaotic atmosphere of a noisy bazaar in a faraway country.
