I’m building the bridge between the corporate and the start-up worlds. I aspire to bring structure and governance to start-ups and to support big companies to sharp the strategic thinking and build an entrepreneurial spirit. I have worked for +25 years in the corporate world for international companies, with a focus in the financial industry. I have developed a holistic view of all things related to firms as I held positions in planning (business related and corporate), project management, strategy, governance, M&A and control.
