A Career Built on Innovation, Impact, and Integrity

I’ve served in executive roles at ETS, Territorium, and consulted for PwC and other organizations and agencies. In my career, I’ve led global commercialization strategies and helped hundreds of academic programs and institutions thrive through the entire learner lifecycle using data-driven solutions and personalized learning pathways. My academic foundation includes over a decade of faculty and leadership service at Arizona State University, where I also led senate governance and chaired international programs.

As a frequent speaker at major education summits and an active contributor to global policy dialogues, I have collaborated with university presidents, chancellors, and ministries of education across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. I’ve also served on the boards of ETS India, Kira Talent, and the Russell Belk Center at Woxsen University.

Originally from Spain and based in the U.S., I bring a multicultural and multilingual lens to my work—fluent in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Catalan, with proficiency in several other languages. My lived experience helps me foster inclusive, forward-looking approaches that empower students and institutions worldwide.

I believe education is the most powerful tool to shape lives and societies. My mission is to help learners and institutions embrace change, scale responsibly, and lead with purpose in today’s complex educational landscape.
