About Monica

I help agri-food companies, organizations, and impact projects turn sustainability and regulatory compliance into real opportunities for positioning and market access.

I work with food SMEs, cooperatives, agricultural value chain organizations, and projects linked to sustainable agriculture that need to translate regulatory requirements (such as EUDR), traceability, and compliance into clear strategies, executable projects, and credible market narratives.

My work connects sustainability, strategic marketing, communication, and business development, so that regulatory compliance does not become an administrative burden but a competitive advantage with buyers, retailers, and investors.

I bring over 15 years of experience in project management, marketing, and purpose-driven communication, working with companies, NGOs, public institutions, and impact ventures. I am accustomed to structuring and coordinating complex projects in contexts of high uncertainty, aligning multidisciplinary teams, stakeholders, and strategic objectives.

My specialty is navigating complexity: translating regulatory frameworks, supply chain dynamics, and sustainability goals into clear operational plans, strategic alliances, and narratives that connect with the market.

I also work on communication as a tool for social transformation, designing storytelling strategies and campaigns that link sustainability with positioning and reputation.

Types of projects I typically collaborate on:

Preparation and roadmaps for EUDR compliance

Risk analysis and traceability in food chains

Market access strategies for sustainable products

Project management for sustainability, food, or social impact projects

Design of purpose-driven communication and marketing strategies
