My passion and determination were the keys to quickly scale up and become CEO of one of the world's leading media agencies. My professional career started at the bottom, making phone calls, filling in database fields and doing basically what no one else wanted to do. I worked during the day, and at night I began my studies in marketing and advertising. This both rescued me and gave me a new purpose. I actually started my studies in optometry, but in the second semester I got pregnant and had to leave the university to take charge of a new life with my daughter. (I have 20 uncles!) In our country, education is a privilege, it is not a right, and that made my parents work hard to give me the opportunity to go to a university. I grew up in a small city in Colombia, in a huge family. I am also an activist in the search for female inclusion and empowerment in the digital industry.Ĭan you tell us a bit about your early studies and career?
