I’m a proud Colombian that loves life, family, friends, music, sports, food, travel, nature & meditation. I have 20+ years of international experience in Sales, Trade Marketing & Marketing in different industries (Technology, Consumer Goods and Textiles). During this time I’ve had the privilege to travel around and also live in different Countries (Canada, India) which has given me the gift to know different cultures and value the relevance of building cross-cultural understanding across nations. In a nutshell, I’m really good at establishing Strategic Alliances and opening international Channels of Distribution in the Latin America & Caribbean Region, using my ability to build long term relationships with customers and peers, strategically deliver results, manage complex situations, and lead multicultural and multidisciplinary teams.
I´ve been in this industry since 2002, I graduated from electronics engineering while working as AV designer, after a while I realized that there were many things I couldn´t understand about sound that I was passionated about so I decided to do masters on sound and vibration in Sweden, during all these time had the chance to design and be responsible for relevant projects like Panamerican games athletic stadium, soccer stadiums, arenas, concert halls and many other of all kind
I have had a fun career so far working in telecom and IT for around 25 years and crept into the surveillance & security space when I first started with Axis Communications in 2010. It all began with cabling and building computers before moving on to voicemail & call accounting systems, interactive voice response (IVR) and call center applications, servers, hypervisors, networking, storage, and VoIP solutions. I have degrees in business marketing and software development, numerous certifications, along with experience in support, installations, training, and sales solutions.
When I am not playing around with Intercoms at work, you can find me spending time with my family, working on house projects, or hitting the trails on my mountain bike.
