When growth outpaces coherence, strategy breaks down.
As organizations grow and evolve, complexity increases faster than clarity. Priorities multiply, decisions fragment, and execution starts to drift — not because of a lack of ambition, but because ambition, priorities, and action are no longer fully aligned.
I work directly with CEOs, founders, and leadership teams to restore that coherence — clarifying direction, sharpening priorities, and helping leaders reconnect strategy with real decisions and coordinated action.
Growth Stretches every system
What once felt obvious becomes harder to see.
What once moved fast now requires coordination.
What once felt straightforward now competes with many more priorities.
What once aligned naturally now requires deliberate leadership.
Unlike living systems, organizations do not adapt automatically.
They require intentional effort to evolve their way of thinking, deciding, and working together — or coherence slowly erodes.
And that work starts at the top.
It requires leadership teams to build shared awareness, real alignment on ambition and guidelines, the ability to discover, choose and commit to a path forward, and the discipline to sustain execution over time.
How I Work With Leadership Teams
STRATEGICPLANNING FOR LEADERSHIP TEAMS
A 12–16 week, leadership-driven strategic planning engagement designed to help CEOs, boards, and top management teams define clear direction, make explicit strategic choices, and translate ambition into a focused, executable plan.
A structured, highly facilitated planning process that deepens shared understanding of the business, builds alignment and commitment around priorities, develops a robust, company-wide portfolio of initiatives to pursue, fund, and execute, and establishes the governance and execution rhythm required to deliver results with discipline.
TOP TEAM STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT WORKSHOP
An action-oriented five-to-six-session workshop designed to help leadership teams gain clarity, build alignment, and create momentum around the most important strategic questions their business is facing.
Structured, focused, fast-paced, and highly facilitated strategy conversations that accelerate decision-making and execution, enabling leaders to step back from day-to-day execution, reflect at altitude, prioritize what matters most, and agree on strategic priorities, trade-offs, and next steps — resulting in a shared direction and a clear, actionable roadmap to guide coordinated action.
CEO STRATEGY THOUGHT PARTNERSHIP
Customized one-on-one working sessions for CEOs, founders, and senior leaders who need an objective, external thought partner to help them make sense of complexity, challenge their perspective, and move decisions forward.
Combining the rigor of strategic consulting with the insight of executive coaching, this work brings structure and depth to the leader’s thinking on the business. It surfaces blind spots and non-obvious issues, adds perspective to ambiguous situations, and helps transform complexity into real, actionable choices. The engagement supports leaders in landing decisions with confidence and provides an external point of accountability to ensure those decisions hold over time.
FRACTIONAL CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER
A fractional Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) engagement for organizations that require senior-level strategic leadership, but not a full-time executive hire.
In this role, I operate as an integrated member of the leadership team, helping the organization translate strategic intent into coordinated action. The work focuses on clarifying and holding strategic priorities, aligning leadership decisions across functions, and bringing structure and discipline to execution. By serving as a central strategic reference point, the role helps prevent drift, resolve misalignment, and ensure that strategy meaningfully guides decisions, resource allocation, and leadership behavior over time.
Why Work With Me?
Over the past 25+ years, I have worked directly with CEOs, boards, business owners, founders, investors, and top management teams across Latin America and the United States, supporting more than 150 leadership teams across a wide range of industries, organizational sizes, and ownership structures as they navigate complex strategic challenges and high-stakes leadership decisions.
I have spent thousands of hours inside leadership rooms — actively guiding and facilitating strategic discussions, challenging assumptions, structuring decision-making conversations, and helping senior teams work through complexity, tension, and trade-offs when the stakes are high.
McKinsey-trained, I have spent the past 18 years evolving and refining my own approach to strategic thinking and practice — integrating rigorous strategy foundations with insights drawn from multiple schools of thought, disciplines, and years of hands-on work inside leadership teams across diverse organizational contexts.
I bring extensive experience as a board member across public, private, and non-profit organizations, and as a mentor for entrepreneurs through Stanford–LBAN and formerly Endeavor. I am also a regular contributor to publications on strategy and leadership.
I hold a BSc in Business Management from Adolfo Ibáñez University (Chile) and an MBA from the University of Cambridge (UK).
