Business Solutions Experience
I was always a consultant and maker for more or less all the projects I was involved with. Never was I limited by the “technical part” of projects. I always focused on finding the need and knew that the “tech” part would be solved anyway. My team and I have been providing business solutions, including mentoring and consulting, since 2000.
My business-related experience was accumulated working closely on complex digital projects with executives from Banks, Hotel Chains, National and International Professional Associations, NGOs (I was also regional president for JCI), Food & Beverage, IT companies, Beauty and Fashion, Pharmaceutical companies, and almost every other business sector out there.

Formulating a Broader Perspective of Things
The one decision to examine life from the prism of how my mind affects perception and the world I took in my 20s placed me on a path that influenced the following 30 years.
I discovered that many psychological factors influence daily performance, seeking clarity, and defining a life purpose. Seeking balance in professional life is close to seeking the same in personal life, and often (aka, always), these overlap. I encountered all that within myself and others, and all that (along with the experiences mentioned below) gradually led me to coach as the next logical step in helping others. All my endeavors and decisions were influenced by looking for what lies beneath and what lies inside.
Every single opportunity or blocking was due to that decision, even the direction of my -for years- profession. Thus, I was always a good analyst of Information Technology and a planner of tasks and production.
All that inner engineering created clarity for many decisions while producing confusion for others. Inner work and removing obstacles towards becoming happier is a process; at some point, I understood that.
During all these years, I’ve:
