A CAREER FUELED BY AMBITION

My journey as an author starts not in the world of literature, but in the realm of boardrooms and financial institutions. With a career spanning across world-class banks and multinational organizations, I’ve had the privilege of wearing many hats. I’ve been a business and operational leader, a strategic visionary, and a project management maestro. My journey in financial services has taken me across the globe, and my fluency in both English and Spanish has allowed me to navigate complex multinational organizations with ease.

THE SPARK OF CREATIVITY

While I was climbing the ladder of success, my passion for writing was simmering beneath the surface. In the high-stakes world of international finance, I found solace in the written word, using it as a creative outlet to escape the confines of spreadsheets and board meetings. It was in these moments that I discovered my talent for storytelling.

MULTINATIONAL ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT AND MULTIFACETED CHARACTERS

The skills honed in multinational account management have proved invaluable in crafting multidimensional characters in my novels. Just as I managed diverse teams and internal stakeholders, I now navigate the intricate web of relationships between my characters, each with their unique motivations and objectives.

STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP AND PLOT DEVELOPMENT

My experience in strategic leadership has helped me weave intricate plots that keep readers engaged and eagerly turning the pages. Like a well-executed business strategy, my stories have a carefully crafted structure that leads to the ultimate payoff, delivering exceptional results in the form of reader satisfaction.

DIGITAL PRODUCTS & INNOVATION AND STORYTELLING

In the rapidly evolving world of digital products and innovation, adaptability is key. My time in this space has taught me to embrace change, and this mindset has found its way into my writing. I’ve learned to keep my narratives fresh and innovative, offering readers a unique experience with each new book.

FINANCIAL SERVICES AND THE ART OF WORLD-BUILDING

My expertise in financial services has also helped me create vivid and realistic worlds within my novels. Just as I had to understand the intricacies of financial markets and systems, I now dive deep into the details of the fictional worlds I build, ensuring they are as immersive as they are authentic.

FROM PRESENTATION SKILLS TO BOOK LAUNCHES

My strong communication and presentation skills have come in handy when it’s time to present my books to the world. Book launches and author talks have become an extension of my professional life, allowing me to connect with readers in much the same way I once connected with clients and colleagues.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

It’s a story of balance, where the structured world of business merges seamlessly with the boundless realm of creativity. My writing journey has shown me that there is a place for storytelling even in the most unexpected of careers. And as I continue to explore new horizons and tell new tales, I’m reminded that the most exciting stories often begin in the unlikeliest of places.
