About Me:

I am from Peru and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from one of the best universities in Peru. 8 years ago I began my career at British American Tobacco, a Fortune 500 company, growing to the position of Trade Marketing and Sales Lead North Region, and then I was hired by Alicorp, the largest CPG company in Peru and one of the largest in South America. I was Head of Trade Marketing for the restaurant industry nationwide leading a team of 4 people and then I was promoted to Sales Manager for an entire region of Peru, leading a team of 8 people.

Since I was in high school I practiced many sports and I stood out especially in Basketball and Karate. I practiced Karate until I was 14, achieving the title of regional champion in 2004 and reaching the rank of black belt at 14 years old. I was part of the main basketball team at my school and also the Club Regatas Lima. I had the opportunity to participate in international championships such as the South American Basketball Club Championship in Mar de Plata and I won the title of champion of the Peruvian national basketball league on 3 occasions.
