About

Professional summary

I am a business strategist focused on growth decisions, market entry, capital allocation, commercial repositioning, and the development of new business lines. I combine market intelligence, field analysis, financial modeling, and hands-on negotiation to turn complex business opportunities into actionable recommendations.

I assess the factors that determine commercial outcomes, including buying decision makers, margins, channels, regulations, competition, and operating structures. My approach connects strategic analysis with financial feasibility, risk assessment, and a clear execution path for senior leadership.

I have worked across banking, healthcare, consumer goods, technology, mobility, and construction-related markets in Costa Rica and Central America. My experience includes leading commercial teams, managing key accounts, negotiating with institutional clients and insurers, and advising international investors and corporations.

I build multi-scenario financial models covering P&L, cash flow, CAPEX, OPEX, break-even analysis, sensitivity analysis, and stress testing. I also conduct market sizing, competitive analysis, PESTEL assessments, customer segmentation, and opportunity mapping in markets with limited public data.

I am experienced in presenting recommendations to senior management and boards of directors, ensuring that each proposal includes costs, expected returns, risks, strategic rationale, and implementation considerations. I am particularly interested in strategic planning, business development, market intelligence, and project-based growth initiatives.

I bring a commercially minded perspective to strategy, with a track record of improving sales performance, recovering inactive accounts, increasing conversion, strengthening margins, and supporting high-stakes investment decisions.

Career history

New Business & Strategy Researcher Grupo ANC

I serve on the Innovation Committee with senior management, contributing market intelligence and financial models used to determine the direction of the group’s new businesses. I lead market research across five countries and the organization’s portfolio through competitive analysis, fieldwork, customer-experience analysis, and ecosystem mapping.

I develop multi-scenario financial models for new initiatives, including P&L, cash flow, CAPEX/OPEX, break-even, sensitivity, and stress tests. I created an opportunity-mapping framework adopted by the Committee to evaluate investments by strategic proximity, risk, and time horizon, and I assess alliances and market-entry opportunities for senior leadership and the Board.

Head of Commercial Hospital CIMA

Led the commercial strategy for a high-complexity hospital and managed a team of 22. Negotiated contracts, discounts, and hospital margins directly with national and international insurers, while conducting a diagnosis of cost structure, credit lines, and receivables to support commercial restructuring.

Exceeded the annual B2B channel target by 92% in six months, billing USD 576,000 against a USD 300,000 target through corporate services development and inactive-account recovery. Redesigned quotation conversion criteria using profitability-per-unit and average-ticket analysis, increasing conversion from 33% to 41% within five months and closing the year at 65%.

Independent Associate Consultant GLG

Advise investment funds, consulting firms, and international corporations on market entry, expansion, and repositioning decisions in Central America. I combine market sizing, PESTEL analysis, competitive behavior, P&L modeling, and market-share projections to test client assumptions against local market conditions.

I analyze failed regional initiatives, identify channel controllers, institutional decision makers, regulators, and structurally advantaged competitors, particularly in markets with limited reliable public data. I also evaluate margin deterioration, cost structures, marginal contribution, unit profitability, and uncaptured commercial potential.

Country Account Executive Movitext

Negotiated directly with executives at banks, cooperatives, and mutual savings associations to support adoption of SINPE Móvil infrastructure. Managed the negotiation, deployment, and follow-up cycle while validating business projections and market behavior.

Repositioned SaaS solutions, including data analytics and cybersecurity offerings, around operational risk and regulatory compliance rather than technical functionality. Recovered inactive accounts by diagnosing churn causes and redesigning the value proposition for key decision makers.

Key Account Manager Holcim

Managed a portfolio representing approximately 30% of national market share across agribusiness, hardware retail, and construction sectors in Costa Rica’s most competitive region. Managed distinct buying cycles, customer needs, and competitive environments across each sector.

Reversed decline in a key business line into a two-point market-share gain in under one year through competitive tactics, discount anticipation, and differentiated offers. Increased sales by 17.5% through pricing decisions, margin restructuring, distributor agreements, P&L analysis, and expansion into strategic customers.

Account Executive Ricoh

Worked as an Account Executive supporting commercial account management and business development activities in Costa Rica.

Leasing and Repossessed Assets Executive BAC

Worked as a Leasing and Repossessed Assets Executive, supporting leasing operations and the management of repossessed assets in Costa Rica.
