    About
    Achievements

    Took over Product Manager duties for the corporate product of a growing startup and doubled effectiveness (confirmed rides) in less than two months by meeting with customers and connecting team members (development, sales, support, etc.) to a common goal. 
    Changed compensation structures for corporate sales teams & got sales growing at double the rate within two months an at 70% within the third month (all record growth rates for this division).
    Ran focus groups with cab drivers to get a clearer sense of areas to improve that could create the biggest impact.
    Multiple times in my career, I have taken on a role best described by Keith Rabois as a "barrel" (organize team members to achieve high impact goals) by setting a vision, rallying the troops (internal and external) and over-communicate to key stakeholders.
    I am also Director of Founder Institute Colombia for five years. I've also contributed to international publications.

    Describe the most impressive thing you've done.
