Former Director of Development
Juan Pablo is a true development professional. He is personally committed with building a better World and he has already made a difference. Very few Harvard graduates may have achieved the wide scope of Juan Pablo's expertise. From working side-by-side with the poor in rural Venezuela early in his career to effectively interacting with senior Government officials in Latin America as World Bank consultant. In all his professional endeavors Juan Pablo has distinguished himself for the superb quality of his analytical products, and the special human touch that makes interacting with him a unique experience.

Former World Bank Task Manager
You only need a few minutes with Juan Pablo to realize that you are in the presence of a solid professional. I had the privilege of working -on a daily basis- with him for several Public Sector Reform Projects in Latin America. From this unique experience I discovered Juan Pablo to be a multi-talented individual. He is an outstanding leader, an educator, and a creator of value that goes well beyond international development. Juan Pablo is genuinely concerned for the welfare of others and, as a natural mentor, he challenged me to achieve excellence in any undertaking.
