From a young age, I loved tackling challenges. Whether it was building a Lego sculpture from scratch or coming up with creative fixes to everyday issues at home, I dove headfirst into the problem. Little did I know, I was training to be an entrepreneur. Today, I bring that same problem-solving mindset to creating impactful, sustainable, and value-driven solutions. I’m a serial entrepreneur with an insatiable curiosity, always looking for new ways to make a difference.

To help local startups find their product-market fit, grow into impactful companies with a strong social focus, and ultimately improve lives.
Years of experience in HR have only deepened my passion for human talent and tackling the challenges within recruitment. Working with demanding clients where “yesterday” was the deadline, and navigating a series of market pain points and process flaws, inspired me and a few friends to get creative. Together, we launched Labor Scout—the mother company of an ambitious HR ecosystem with our main brand, Empleia.com. Through Empleia, we’re building a comprehensive platform to address recruitment in LatAm. Our mission? To democratize job opportunities and put the Candidate at the center. We’re dedicated to providing a humane, enriching experience, with tools, free education, and benefits to help candidates reach their career goals and land the job of their dreams.
