About Me

My management journey began in 2011 when I was pulled into my company's first project that needed a PM. What started as an unexpected assignment became a lifelong passion for delivery excellence, team empowerment, and Agile transformation.

After becoming a Certified Scrum Master in 2013 — part of the first wave of CSMs in Colombia — I co-led a grassroots Agile transformation that reshaped how development worked globally within my company. That experience proved to me that culture eats methodology for breakfast, but the right framework makes culture sustainable.

I am obsessed with creating cultures of Business Excellence where every team member can realize their gifts, share those gifts, and go home feeling fulfilled. I leverage Psychological Safety as the foundation for high-performance teams, embracing all forms of diversity as competitive advantages.

Across 16+ years in the software development industry, I have managed multi-squad operations of up to 80 team members, delivered digital transformation for world-class brands like Universal Studios, Meta, Morningstar, Walmart, and Royal Caribbean, and played key roles in PMO definition and process standardization.

Methodology & Approach

Team Management

I lead through Psychological Safety — creating environments where people bring their full selves and feel safe to take risks, speak up, and experiment. I coach teams toward self-organization, celebrate collective ownership, and build rituals that reinforce continuous learning. High performance is a result of trust, not pressure.

Delivery Organization

I apply an iterative, flow-based delivery model adapted to each team's context. Using Scrum ceremonies as scaffolding and Kanban as the visibility engine, I keep delivery transparent, prioritized, and unblocked.

Risk & Priority Management

Risks are identified early through structured risk registers, dependency maps, and inter-team sync cadences. Priorities are set collaboratively with Product and stakeholders based on business value and delivery capacity.

Flow Metrics & Continuous Improvement

I use flow metrics as a shared language for delivery health. WIP limits prevent multitasking traps. Cycle time reveals bottlenecks. Throughput measures predictability. Aging work surfaces stuck items. Together, these metrics guide retrospectives into data-backed improvement experiments.
