My experience can be summarized into the following core areas:

Strategic Leadership

As an engineer by education and training, my job first and foremost has been to establish the facts, study relevant circumstances, and set a path towards a clear and specific destination.

I have led efforts to design new products and services, evolve existing ones, and transform entire functions altogether.

Transformative Coaching

Working with others sometimes can be difficult for deep introverts like myself, but it became a cornerstone of my career when I realized work worth doing requires teamwork.

Over the past 25 years, I have been recognized as a transformative coach and leader by those I lead, those I work with, and those I work for.

I come from a small town in Nicaragua, survived war and poverty by the grace of God and with the help of many, had the privilege of receiving the best possible education throughout, and have been paying back my blessings through coaching, problem solving, teaching, and storytelling for close to three decades.

I have learned the importance of character, teamwork, and resilience from the time I worked graveyard shifts at gas stations during high school through my time overseeing relationships with tens of thousands of clients and hundreds of billions of dollars in assets under management as an executive at Vanguard, one of the largest financial services companies on the planet.

I am a partially deaf endurance athlete and my laboratory is found on the mountains and in the canyons of the Sonoran Desert where I experiment, fail, adapt, and evolve my toolkit for life.

I can help you see both, the thirty-thousand-foot view as well as establish the granular details; set a clear purpose, execute with discipline, and do so as part of a high-performing team; and understand your own story and inspire those around you.

Disciplined Execution

Whether training for a 100Km race, working to deliver with extremely limited resources, or responding to a major crisis, success can be traced back to discipline and resilience.

Throughout my career, I sought to master execution as evidenced by delivering on point, on time, and on budget.

Change Management
& Crisis Response

I have led significant change initiatives and major transformations throughout my career, including establishing and scaling corporate processes, employee development and engagement programs, and focused responses to industry and regulatory events.
