From Strategy to Front Line Impact

About

About

Martin is a top management consultant who evolved to a senior advisor in transformation and change, leveraging the people dimension to generate impact.

Over the last 13 years he has worked with many leading companies in Latin America and the US on key transformation programs in topics such post merger integration, “lean key processes”, cost reduction, channel effectiveness, new channel development and cultural transformation.

This work has shaped Martin’s consulting style. Beyond models and powerpoints, he strives for leadership alignment, frontline engagement and pragmatic feasibility evaluation in any engagement. Through his energetic and passionate personality, he role models the passion, the rigor and the momentum that a change program needs. He has received many job offers from clients while helping them with their change programs.

Martin has a sharp view of spotting value levers, enablers and untapped potential, allowing him to work based on hypothesis and to provide quick insights to senior management to build a case to challenge the status quo and broaden aspirations.

Living in Latin America, Martin has experienced many economic up and downturns. He highlights the importance of flexibility and adaptability in big corporations and translates that in supporting his clients in FOCUS. A few things, but well executed. He applies the same concepts when advising ad honorem entrepreneurs of Endeavor, the leading entrepreneurial network in Latin America.

Martin lives in Argentina with his wife and 2 daughters. He enjoys the beach, swimming in the sea and reading historical novels.
