Nominated by Florencia Rodriguez Lamas.

What is the best advice someone has ever given you?

A mentor once shared with me: “Lead like you’re building a legacy, not just hitting targets.” That advice resonated deeply and continues to guide me. I often reflect on it as I work to strengthen my ability to inspire my team and align them with a vision that extends beyond immediate goals.

What advice would you give us?

Be authentic. In a world of commoditized approaches, profiles and messages, authenticity is certainly one of your best asset as a leader.

An essential quality to lead…

An essential quality to lead is courage. Courage to take risks, make tough decisions, and stay true to your values.

What book, podcast, YouTube channel or any other type of content do you recommend us…

I’ll mention two books I read not too long ago that had a positive impact on me: ‘Radical Candor’ by Kim Scott and ‘Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?’ by Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones.

What historical figure would you like to have on your team

I will dream big and choose The Beatles, as a group.

Why? I regard The Beatles as masters in collaboration (not except from conflict), innovation, and reinvention. Each member brought unique talents, Paul’s perfectionism, John’s boldness, George’s quiet depth, and Ringo’s steady reliability. Together, they created something far greater than any of them could have achieved alone.

Have you always been clear about your professional objective?

No, I haven’t always been clear about my professional objective. Careers are rarely linear and often we get confronted with challenges and opportunities that were not part of the roadmap.

There were moments of doubt and unexpected detours that made me question my path. Those experiences taught me the most, and in a way shaped who i am today. Clarity came through growth, mistakes, and trusting that even uncertainty can lead to something meaningful.

What is the bravest decision you have made in our life?

The bravest decision I’ve made was resigning from a management role in 2015 to backpack around the world for a year. It wasn’t easy walking away from stability and a career, specially having to heard all the unsolicited pieces of advise from people that were not feeling what I was feeling. I realized I needed to step back and rediscover what truly mattered to me.

That year gave me a fresh perspective, pushing me out of my comfort zone and teaching me resilience, adaptability, and how to embrace uncertainty. That was the time of my life.

What is the most curious app you have on your mobile

One that can emulate the sound of hundreds of different Guitar / Bass amps and pedals. I often play at home and it’s a reminder that there’s always room for a some rock ’n’ roll, even in the busiest of lives.

What do people assume about you, and that isn’t true

People often assume I’ve always had everything figured out, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I think this assumption comes from my role and how I present myself, focused, structured, and confident in decision-making. But the reality is, like anyone else, I’ve faced uncertainty, taken risks, and learned from mistakes.

What do you think will be the next revolution in your sector/industry?

The next revolution in logistics and the energy sector will be driven by generative AI—and it’s not just coming, it’s here.

In logistics, Gen-AI will obliterate inefficiencies we’ve tolerated for decades. Real-time supply chain optimization, automated contract negotiations, and predictive planning will become the norm, not the exception. In the energy sector, the impact will be even more profound. Imagine AI designing entire renewable grids, running simulations that take days instead of years, and solving optimization problems that no human could crack alone. This isn’t incremental change. it’s transformational. The companies that adapt fastest will reshape the industry.

What do you admire and do not tolerate in a person?

What I admire most in a person is integrity. The ability to do the right thing, even when no one is watching, sets a strong foundation for trust and respect. I admire people who are authentic, who stand by their values but remain open to learning and growth.

What I don’t tolerate is dishonesty or a lack of accountability. Whether it’s evading responsibility, cutting corners, or hiding behind excuses, these behaviors undermine trust and the team’s progress.

Ultimately, I respect people who show up as their best selves and take ownership of both their successes and their mistakes.
