For over 25 years, I have helped my organization and teams to navigate complex legal and regulatory challenges in a highly regulated industry across several jurisdictions, creating, shaping and/or preserving business opportunities. I have a unique blend of skills that have allowed me to perform at the highest level, delivering business results and creating business opportunities in extremely adverse and challenging environments. From market leader to market challenger, from global HQ to starting up an entire operation, I have been fortunate to gain an invaluably broad and unique personal and professional experience.Track record of international experience, having completed challenging and enriching international assignments in Venezuela, Peru, Belgium, Egypt, Morocco and the United Kingdom where I have embraced and gained strength from cultural diversity. As a result, I am experienced and comfortable working in multinational and multicultural environments. I am a dual-national, Venezuelan and British and fluent in English, Spanish and French. Hands-on and energetic team player and collaborator, with flexible, pragmatic and forward-thinking leadership, openly sharing information and providing quality input to decision making and team efforts. I enjoy developing close and constructive relationships with internal and external stakeholders, to successfully advance business goals and strategic growth initiatives. I possess a natural talent and passion for strategising and executing innovative solutions to complex legal and regulatory challenges and problems. Skilled in understanding and managing critical risks and mitigations, crises and business processes with an innate capacity to scrutinise core issues, devise creative and realistic solutions, while stimulating ‘buy-in’ and support from key stakeholders, specially at C-suite level.I consider myself as someone who thrives on adversity and sees it as an opportunity to grow and succeed, whether it's delivering complex projects, solving challenging regulatory issues at work or tackling an Ironman triathlon. I find immense satisfaction in pushing my limits and to succeed, both professionally and personally. Resilience and determination are at the core of who I am, both in my career and my personal pursuits. I am an experienced senior government affairs, regulatory engagement and legal professional while at the same time I am an endurance athlete, having completed more than 40 marathons and 12 Ironman triathlons while working at senior level in leadership team roles for a top FTSE company.
