PERSONAL STATEMENT
I have strong experiences in strategic planning and leading or being part of teams which I gained
thanks to the AIESEC Experience. I have also gained and developed competences such as
Effective communication, flexible thinking, awareness of others, Goal-oriented thinking,
Self-awareness, Cultural understanding and Organizational Understanding among others.
I like to investigate, to innovate, and almost always that contributes to the success of my work,
and based on that I’ve developed a skill to learn fast that allows me to adapt easily to new
environments and requirements.
I also like to work with teams, with high potential people whom like to work and contribute to the
general objective. I’ve also gained skills like public speaking, training, conflicts management and
team management.
Recently thanks to my experience at the HUB Bogotá, I've developed much more interest on
modern entrepreneurship and the global trends on this topics, also with books, conferences,
authors, etc. Actually I'm about to start my own company on solar energy with the main objective
to offer an accessible option for people on rural areas or energy difficulties.

PERSONAL INTERESTS
I’m interested on energy crisis, renewable energies, climate change, electric efficiency, electric vehicles, and
new sources of energy. And as electronic engineer I'm highly interested in create a company that works
selling and installing solar panels with a social model, where the people with needs or difficulties on the
energy source can access to this technologies.
The social media and Internet marketing interest begun like a hobby but now, I have learned different things
and I really enjoy that, and now I would feel good working on that.
Actually my dream is to work in a place where I can generate new ideas and projects. Where I can innovate,
and participate in enriched discussions, and where I can keep learning and sharing the knowledge with a real
team work.
I love music, world music, like bossa nova, lounge, chill out, classic, rock, in general music from different
cultures. And I'm also fan of gadgets, and geek stuff.
About my work, I like to have challenges, because is where I learn more, and makes me work concentrated,
getting the best result, and some times I like to improve that work, making it better.
