In the Summer of 2011, the board of directors of Fundacion CODESPA decided to establish its first affiliate outside of Spain, and I was appointed as the founding Executive Director of Codespa America, a DC-based nonprofit organizationAs the first Executive Director of Codespa America, my main responsibility was to take care of all of the corporate and financial aspects of the new organization.I worked tirelessly and single handedly on all aspects of this position, with the great support of the Board for Codespa America to get it launched. During this time I served as a professional lecturer in numerous courses organized by very prestigious organizations, such as the World Tourism Organization, The GWU, IADB, among others.

I moved to Washington, D.C. to assume the duties of USA Country Manager for the Fundacion Codespa, a Spanish nonprofit foundation Presided by the King of Spain Felipe of Borbon & Grecia.During the course of my tenure as the USA Country Manager for Fundacion CODESPA, the work entailed everything (as said) from "soup to nuts." That is, as the first Country Manager for the Fundacion appointed to the USA, an important new market for Fundacion Codespa, I had to organize an office, introduce the Fundacion to the Washington, D.C.-based multilaterals, universities, US government agencies and other organizations, as well as design, supervise, implement and eventually complete post-evaluation assessments of the results of the particular projects.In my professional capacity as international economic development specialist, during those years I also played other technical roles such as:Andean Regional Program on Sustainable and Rural Tourism.
