Trilingual U.S.–LatAm Cross-Border Strategy, Operations & Negotiation Advisor.
Helping companies navigate U.S. & Latin American market entry and growth with clarity, cultural intelligence, and strategic risk management.
With 20+ years of international experience across São Paulo, New York City, Palo Alto, Dallas, and the UK, I help companies expand across borders with clarity, discipline, and strong execution.
