About myself

With a career shaped by a deep-rooted passion for football and a dedication to high standards, I have had the privilege of leading and transforming organizations in the sports industry. From my beginnings at the Servette Football Club in Switzerland, where I became the youngest CEO in the history of the league while also serving as Sporting Director for the women’s team and President, to my current role as General Manager of the Chicago Stars FC in the National Women's Soccer League, I’ve refined my skills in strategic vision, leadership, and innovation.

As someone of both Spanish and Swiss heritage, I hold family and cultural values at the core of who I am. I am deeply committed to bringing these values into my work, building teams that feel like family, where trust, respect, and unity define our culture on and off the field.

Fluent in French, Spanish, and English, I bring a multicultural perspective to every role. My experience brought me to also to be part of the Swiss Football League committee, where I contributed to shaping the future of Swiss football.

Guided by a commitment to building high-performance teams and creating lasting impact, my journey has been about more than just managing clubs; it’s been about elevating the game itself. Whether through consulting, mentorship, or speaking engagements, I aim to inspire others to lead with purpose, resilience, and an unwavering focus on quality.
