Who I am

Rooted in Colombia and based in Switzerland, I am fluent in Spanish, English, and French.

Over a decade working across the private sector, academia, consulting, and multilateral institutions. A perspective shaped by movement between the Global South and global policy environments, and a conviction that context matters as much as standards.

What drives my work

I am particularly drawn to questions that resist simple answers: how standards translate into lived realities, how power and governance shape outcomes, and how collective approaches can enable more equitable and sustainable models of production.

My work is grounded in a simple belief: responsibility is built through institutions, incentives, and relationships, not checklists and formal requirements alone.

My path

I began in the private sector, working on corporate responsibility at Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Bogotá, before moving into consulting at TRUST Gestión Estratégica de Riesgos, where I advised organisations on RBC strategies, human rights due diligence, and alignment with international standards. I later worked in the technology and start-up ecosystem at AKTEK, where speed and experimentation reshaped my understanding of implementation and, in particular, the importance of value-anchored partnerships. Most recently, I contributed to policy-aligned approaches on decent work, human rights, and supply chains at the International Labour Organization.

Alongside practice, I pursued an academic path through my Masters in Development Studies from the Graduate Institute in Geneva, and then culminating in a PhD from the University of Neuchâtel, specialising in the evolving regulatory landscape of multinational corporations' responsibility.
