Bio
Sebastian Reyes Suárez
While working with Faustina, she never failed to remind us of the bigger picture and how our individual contributions played a crucial role in achieving our collective goals. What impressed me the most about her leadership style was her guidance and communication, she would thoroughly explain why a specific method or process was the best one to follow. She encouraged collaboration and engagement, making sure that everyone's voices and opinions received and valued. She actively promoted teamwork and suggested ways to improve the organization, which made us feel empowered. She made us feel heard and respected as people, not simply as coworkers, which was remarkable in our remote work dynamic. Furthermore, she would always make sure we had the knowledge, support and resources to do our jobs effectively. Solving any issue and removing obstacles were of utmost significance to her and she continuously solicited our input when developing ideas to enhance workflow or advance the organization. This attitude made me feel comfortable approaching her with suggestions or asking for help at any time, which helped me be more effective in my role. Overall, Faustina is a superb leader who prioritizes cooperation and success. She has been a delight to work with because of her positive attitude, empathy, and encouragement. Her genuine dedication to fostering our growth also gives me confidence that I can turn to her for advice on how to develop professionally at any moment, in the present or in the future.
