    Torre.ai

    As a Senior Latam Account Executive, I have played a pivotal role in leveraging Torre's innovative recruitment solutions, which automatically locate the best candidates from hundreds of sources, attract them, screen them, filter them, rank them, and deliver detailed reports.

  • Tingo Colombia

    Tingo Colombia
    Jan 2016 - Current (9 years 5 months)
    I have founded and managed the language instruction startup called Tingo. The company was created to match language students in Colombia who have the same budget, communicative objectives, and schedule, so they can share costs and have access to high-profile teachers. Tingo has helped around 1,000 students in Colombia. Besides that, I have designed a project that recruits Colombian nurses and doctors who want to live and work in Germany. Germany is lacking thousands of nurses and doctors, and Colombia has many of them without any job or in poor conditions; the only limitation is the lack of German language skills. This is an amazing project that helps both countries in the short and long term. - Generated sales of more than 1.5 billion CO
