About me: I hold a Marketing degree from Universidad del Pacífico in Lima, Peru. Before my MBA, I worked as a Commercial Consultant at PwC and Nielsen. I then transitioned to become an Infrastructure Business Development Manager at the UK Department for Business and Trade. In all these positions, I have delivered strategic value-driven solutions and strategies.
I decided to pursue my MBA at LBS because of the diverse and global cohort, while also being able to live in London and expand my network of contacts to transition to a global career.
I enjoy practising improv and cooking barbeques for my friends. I also love travelling, following sports and discovering new experiences in London.
Three topics I can be approached for: MBA application process; living/moving to London; transitioning career.
