Lots of listening and analysis to understand the critical needs of PepsiCo. We always start with the end goal in mind. Once we know what we want to solve, we then define what success is and exactly how we would measure it. We back into the path to get there. We try to cut out unnecessary steps, focusing on exactly what we need to prove to deliver on the metrics of success.

Have fun! It’s important to not always be so serious. I love to smile and laugh and bring my true self to work. It energizes me. It is also a lot easier to influence the business and get things done when people feel that energy and we have fun doing work together.

I am a proud Nicaraguan American. I come from a big tight-knit family, with 24 first cousins and many more nieces and nephews. I love to travel and have had the opportunity to live in Venezuela, Japan, Spain, Mexico, as well as the United States.
