My journey in digital transformation started with hands-on process improvement projects in Colombia. There, I discovered the crucial importance of comprehending both the business and human aspects of change. This experience, combined with my engineering management background, has shaped my approach to technology implementation.
Throughout my career, I've consistently focused on delivering practical and measurable results. From helping cultural entrepreneurs develop sustainable business models to assisting manufacturers in achieving productivity enhancements, I've had the privilege of working with diverse organizations across various industries and cultures.
As an Analyst Manager at Salient Process, I leverage AI and automation technologies to help organizations evolve efficiently. My certifications in Watsonx.ai and IBM Process Mining complement my real-world experience in implementing intelligent solutions.
