“Money is nothing more than the visible representation of something much deeper”

When I had to decide what to study, I wasn’t clear at all. I hesitated and hesitated, thinking and overthinking. The only thing I knew was that I wanted to make the world a better place. So I decided to go to the core. To that which weaves our daily lives, sustains our relationships, shapes and defines us, brings us together, separates us or frightens us—whether we like it or not—energizing the mycelium we inhabit: money.

Years of working as a consultant, advisor, and market analyst in different parts of the world, however, have shown me that money is nothing more than the visible representation of something much deeper. Money speaks about everything when we do not dare to.

As the child of a nomadic family—life seekers and refugees from hunger—my family roots have led me to a constant search for well-being, both mine and that of others. From this place, I accompany others, understanding that within everyone there is an tireless will to be well, to feel comfortable, at peace, with oneself and with others.

As an economist and facilitator, I have spent more than 10 years advising and supporting entrepreneurial processes within the social and solidarity economy, contributing value through understanding, listening, and a systemic perspective. Understanding numbers as a pathway to the deeper layers has allowed me, with humility, to strengthen and transform projects and organizations that build more compassionate, grounded, and resilient societies.
