• Participate actively in strategic meetings with teams and stakeholders in the United States, acting as a bridge between both operations and facilitating the transfer of knowledge, best practices, and capabilities developed in Chile.
• Contribute to the development of processes, systems, and management models that can successfully be replicated in the U.S., supporting the consolidation and scaling of the business in both markets.
• Make decisions regarding resource prioritization, initiatives, and organizational development, balancing local operational needs with global company objectives.
