Work

I'm a consultant returning to McKinsey & Company in New York after an MBA at Harvard Business School. I was born to a Venezuelan family, raised in Costa Rica, and educated in New York and Boston.

Before HBS, I spent three years at McKinsey on consumer, pricing, growth, and operations work. At Reckitt, I worked on the U.S. launch of an existing brand, shaping positioning, pricing, and channel choices. Outside client work, I build small AI tools for my everyday problems and write about strategy, technology, and sport.
