There are a few things that money and fame cannot buy, and education is one of them. I have spent the past 20 years of my career providing educational opportunities to thousands of students across the globe. I have created the appropriate strategies, structure, processes, and teams to deliver results.<\/p>\n

I am a relationship-builder, a collaborator, and a cultivator of talent. I embrace diversity, promote cross-functional alliances, and value integrity, trust, empowerment, accountability, flexibility, and results. I enjoy sharing my experiences about education, leadership, management, international business and travel, Latin America, and anything that might inspire us to improve.<\/p>\n

Here are seven statements that give you a glimpse into who I am and what I value. There could have been more, but keeping them at seven gave me a chance to be more thoughtful about them:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I love my heritage and my beautiful hometown of Oaxaca, Mexico; nonetheless, I consider myself a citizen of the world, and I have a firm conviction that we are all, regardless of ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, sexual preference, etc., much more alike than we are different.
    \n\u201cFascism is cured by reading, and racism is cured by traveling\u201d (Miguel de Unamuno).<\/em><\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. I believe in the transformative power of education as a catalyst for a better life, and I subscribe to the thought that ability is of little account without opportunity.
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. I embrace \u201cmens sana in corpore sano<\/em>;\u201d I thrive in competition and strive to push myself physically and mentally in all my endeavors to challenge the status quo. I am a squash fanatic, an avid chess player, and passionate about the “Beautiful Game,” a.k.a. football (soccer).
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. I believe in the power of kindness, tolerance, and service to our fellow beings.
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. I believe in God, and my faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ allows me to be the best version of myself and helps me to live with integrity in all facets of my life, personally and professionally.
    \n<\/span><\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span>One of the easiest ways to identify a true follower of Jesus Christ is how compassionately that person treats other people\u201d (Russell M. Nelson).<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  6. I respect and admire people of conviction and good hearts, whether of my faith, other faiths, or no faith.
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. I am a husband and a father, and these roles represent some of my most significant sources of joy.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
