Portfolio Career Strategist | Business Development Veteran | Negotiation Expert | LinkedIn Personal Branding Trainer | Keynote Speaker | Noble Manhattan Partner | Contact me for Certified Coaching Training

C-suite executive and entrepreneur at heart, passionate about turning strategy into measurable growth and leadership into lasting impact.

I’ve spent my career driving commercial transformation across clinical research organizations, leading global teams, and shaping partnerships that accelerate innovation from early development to market.

Alongside that work, I’ve become deeply committed to advancing female leadership — helping women navigate pay equity, visibility, and influence at the highest levels.

I share insights on:
💡 Leadership at the Top: What it really takes to grow, lead, and sustain performance in the C-suite
💡 Female Advancement: Practical strategies to close the gender and power gap
💡 Commercial Growth: How inclusive leadership drives better business outcomes

I also lecture at leading business schools including EHL, IMD, St. Gallen, and EPFL, where I teach salary and contract negotiation, networking, influence, and strategic personal branding — the very skills that have taken me to the top of my career.

Founder of NoGap, a women’s negotiation consultancy dedicated to closing the pay and power gap, and Chili Pink, a digital marketing agency that helps leaders and brands tell their story with purpose and precision.
Co-creator of the Advanced Applied Coaching Skills – Female Leadership Program with Noble Manhattan, and co-Managing Director of Noble Manhattan Switzerland.

Swiss-Mexican-German executive near Geneva.
Mother to three remarkable young men and one silly dog.
Committed to building high-trust teams, elevating women in leadership, and turning ambition into action.

They welcomed me to Barcelona! 

One of the unexpected gifts of working in clinical research for so many years?
The incredible people you reconnect with along the way. 💫 

Estrella Garcia and Montserrat Barcelo Riera, MD and I have crossed paths across events, companies and different chapters of our lives. But the kind of personal respect that stays.

The kind where you genuinely like each other.
Enjoy each other’s company. And respect each other’s journey.
And sometimes that is enough.

Sitting together in Barcelona today reminded me of something important.
In our industry, you do not need to be inseparable to be aligned.

You need shared values. 
Mutual admiration.
And the ability to pick up a conversation as if no time has passed.

Clinical research moves fast. Careers evolve. Titles change.
But good people remain.

And that matters more than we often say.
Gràcies per la benvinguda, amigues. 🌼
