About Adriana

Has your company grown, but you feel like everything still depends on you? Do you have a team, but don't know how to organize, delegate, or train without wasting time and energy?

I help creative CEOs who are very good at what they do, have grown rapidly, and now need order to keep moving forward.

With a well-structured team, clear processes, and a good reporting system, you regain control and the space to focus on what's important: growing, creating, and enjoying your company.

I have over 20 years of experience leading cultural and operational transformation projects.

I have worked from within and from outside with different SMEs; clinics, agencies, architecture studios, and more. Always with one focus: that the team works without everything depending on the CEO.

🔹 MBA from IE Business School, where I worked for 18 years leading teams and operational improvements.
🔹 As General Director of CIDON, I initiated its digital and cultural transformation after 30 years of experience.
🔹 As a freelancer, I work directly with founders to help them professionalize their company without losing its essence.

What sets me apart?

I adapt to your way of working. I respect your company's culture. I listen to you.
I'm not here to change everything, but to help you make it work better… your way.
