Founder · Operator · Revenue Architect

I build the systems that
turn vision
into revenue.

Twenty years of getting inside companies, figuring out why growth stalls, and building what fixes it.

About

The long version

I've been building companies since I was eighteen. Not as a hobby. As a compulsion.

I'm a first-generation Cuban-Puerto Rican woman who grew up understanding that if you want something built, you build it yourself. My career doesn't fit neatly into a box. I've managed $25M in international enterprise accounts for a German industrial manufacturer. I've written RFPs, built brand strategy, and sourced funding for a consultancy, sometimes all in the same day. I've closed $2.1M in net-new SaaS revenue in under a year. I've designed AI-powered GTM systems for founders who needed a commercial operator before they could afford a full team.

The thread through all of it: I see systems. I see where things are leaking, where the leverage is, and what needs to be built to make growth stick. And I'm not afraid to do the work.

I'm a neurodivergent, bilingual, mission-driven operator. I don't do monotonous. I do consequential.

What I do

Where I work best

01

Revenue Architecture

Pipeline infrastructure, GTM playbooks, outbound sequencing, inbound-to-close systems. I build the engine, not just the strategy deck.

02

Operator Instinct

I've worn every hat in a startup. Bizdev, RFPs, client strategy, operations, brand. That breadth means I can walk into a founder's company and immediately see what's working, what's leaking, and what to build next.

03

Cultural Fluency

Bilingual, bicultural, first-generation. I've closed enterprise deals in LATAM and the U.S. and built relationships with buyers who needed to trust the person before the product. Not a soft skill. A market advantage.

KnoMe

In development

KnoMe is a women's health platform I'm founding because I needed it and it didn't exist.

I'm a perimenopausal woman who spent most of her life not understanding why her body worked the way it did. When I finally started connecting the dots between my hormonal cycle and my energy, mood, focus, and relationships, I thought: why did it take me forty years to find this out? And why does my support system still not understand what I'm going through?

KnoMe answers both questions. A platform that helps women understand themselves, and helps the people who love them understand them better.

Seeking early-stage funding and founding team collaborators.
