Bio

I highly recommend Cristina. I had the luck and privilege to be assigned to the same study group as Cristina, at IESE Business School. During our first year at IESE we met every day to discuss, analyse, brainstorm, and suggested solutions to real business cases. In our second year MBA, it was a natural decision to collaborate with her on an entrepreneurship project. Early on, at our study group, when complex cases had to be clarified, Cristina not only contributed her part but also often took the lead and went directly to the board, making the picture clearer for us all, so we were able to work together and fill the remaining gaps. Cristina is brilliant and she does not afraid to speak her mind, but always with her unique charm, never hit and go, always openly listen to what others have to say in respond. Cristina’s excitement about entrepreneurship and about making a difference, pushed us going throughout our project; she’s a hands on, motivated and hard working person. She was the first one to go to the street, talk with complete strangers, built trust with them, and returned with valuable information. More significant, Cristina is a person that is a pleasure to work with; yes, a professional discussion could defiantly hit up, but always in a good spirit. She is one of these unique people who makes you want to continue and work hard on a project, to do better, even in a bad weather. Moreover, Cristina is a trustworthy and loyal person, she will be there when you need her, with great skill set and in good spirit. I highly recommend Cristina, I think she will be a great addition to any team.

Cristina represented one of our business units on multiple projects that rolled up to me. She was incredibly thoughtful, diligent, and thorough. She quickly adapted to the industry, the company, technology, and the people here. Cristina demonstrated an aptitude for making informed, timely decisions and was not afraid of any situation. No moment was too big. I look forward to watching her career grow.
