About me

Twenty years of building businesses and reading people.

I was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, and I have been running businesses since my early twenties. I spent more than a decade as general manager of my family's telecommunications and distribution companies before moving to the United States, where I have founded four companies in Florida: a behavioral coaching and corporate training firm, a construction and remodeling company, a business consulting and insurance firm, and an earlier venture in Orlando.

Along the way I led human resources for a workforce of more than 150 people in New York, advised small-business owners for T-Mobile in Florida's Hispanic market, and supported complex litigation as a paralegal under the supervision of a Florida attorney.

What ties it all together is one question: why do people do what they do, and how do you help them change? I have worked on that question since 2010 through behavioral coaching, certified hypnosis practice and strategic intervention, and I bring it to every stage, workshop and consulting engagement, in English and in Spanish.

  • 4companies founded in Florida
  • 150+employees led as HR leader
  • 15+years of coaching and training

Also: paralegal experience in complex commercial arbitration and consumer matters (2025–2026), always under the supervision of a licensed Florida attorney, including AI-assisted document review and drafting workflows.

Stage and media

On stage and on air

I have been coaching and training since 2010. The stage came later, with conferences such as La Magia del NeuroDiscurso y la Risa (Orlando), Los Tres Pilares de la Persuasión (Universidad Ana G. Méndez, Orlando), Neuroestrategias de Negocios, Neuroestrategias para Redes Sociales and the keynote at Jornada Renace y Brilla (Miami, 2025), among others.

Hypnosis, in my practice, is a certified tool inside behavioral science: a way to understand attention, emotion and habit, and to help people change what they want to change. It is never a show.
