For generations, entrepreneurship has run through our veins from the family retail chain JOTAGOMEZ. Since I was little, I was brought up working during every break learning to live with rules, schedules, responsibilities, and compromise. At school I was always a leader, class president and more, for which I was awarded a medal/scholarship when I graduated called "Honor al Mérito ICESI". I finished my Economics, my Undergrad and International Relations, my Certification from public university in USA together with five collage plan (including IV League university). There, I also got plenty of labor experience in diverse jobs I used to support my student life finances. Later I was hired by a Colombian Bank in Miami as my first professional job. I pursued the job with such outstanding results that the bank financed my visa extension. Among different achievements I was assigned a great deal of a product development called "Money Market Gold". In 1992 my father asked me to return to Colombia to support him in the family business, a wholesale company that sold Silk Flowers, Christmas, and Gifts. Since then, I have travelled to Asia to develop dependable suppliers. I designed a disruptive selling strategy where we began to offer Christmas since February to optimize our purchases. In 2006 I opened a BPO company that provided structured connections and reliable sourcing to serve diverse markets and multiple purchasing needs from different customers. I was providing a network of cooperation companies in Asia that could provide reliability in China and other Asian countries. I designed a service that combined sourcing with QC, Costing Warranty and Logistics all in one. I became the pioneer of purchase consulting and an expert, like none, in Asia, China.
