Professional Engineer with 10+ years of experience in industrial operations, outsourcing programs, and digital transformation, my career has crossed sectors, countries, and challenges that gave me a perspective few people have.<\/p>

I started on the ground \u2014 with a hard hat, KPIs in hand, and teams of 100+ people across operations and projects in diverse sectors, both industrial and services. That's where I learned that the most complex organizational problems aren't solved with technology alone. They're solved by understanding how processes, data, and people interact as a system.<\/p>

That vision led me to specialize in program management, data intelligence with Power BI, and cross-cultural leadership. In Australia, I was accredited as a Professional Engineer (MIEAust) by Engineers Australia, within the Plant, Production & Mechanical Engineers group. In Japan, I was selected for the Co-Creation Challenge Team at Expo Osaka 2025, co-creating solutions under the UN SDGs.<\/p>

Today I integrate that field experience with Business Intelligence, critical thinking, and the ability to walk into any team, understand what's really blocking execution, and design solutions that work because they consider both the numbers and the people.<\/p>

I don't build the technology. I build what makes it work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

INGENIER\u00cdA QUE CONECTA SISTEMAS, DATOS Y PERSONAS De la planta industrial al dato. De Colombia a tres continentes. Misma disciplina, herramientas que evolucionan. SOBRE PAOLA Ingeniera Profesional con +10 a\u00f1os de experiencia en operaciones industriales, programas de outsourcing y transformaci\u00f3n digital, mi carrera ha cruzado sectores, pa\u00edses y desaf\u00edos que me dieron una perspectiva que pocos tienen. Empec\u00e9 en piso \u2014 con casco, indicadores en mano y equipos de +100 personas en operaciones y proyectos de diversos sectores, tanto industriales como de servicios. Ah\u00ed aprend\u00ed que los problemas m\u00e1s complejos de una organizaci\u00f3n no se resuelven solo con tecnolog\u00eda. Se resuelven entendiendo como interact\u00faan los procesos, los datos y las personas como un sistema. Esa visi\u00f3n me llevo a especializarme en gesti\u00f3n de programas, inteligencia de datos con Power BI y liderazgo intercultural. En Australia, fui acreditada como Ingeniera Profesional (MIEAust) por Engineers Australia, dentro del grupo de Ingenieros de Planta, Producci\u00f3n y Mec\u00e1nicos. En Jap\u00f3n, fui seleccionada para el Co-Creation Challenge Team de la Expo Osaka 2025, co-creando soluciones bajo los ODS de la ONU. Hoy integro esa experiencia de campo con Business Intelligence, pensamiento cr\u00edtico y la capacidad de entrar a cualquier equipo, entender lo que realmente est\u00e1 bloqueando la ejecuci\u00f3n, y dise\u00f1ar soluciones que funcionan porque consideran tanto los n\u00fameros como las personas. No construyo la tecnolog\u00eda. Construyo lo que hace que funcione. TRAYECTORIA GLOBAL 2010 – 2016 Gesti\u00f3n contractual, an\u00e1lisis de procesos y riesgos en sectores p\u00fablico y privado. Lider\u00e9 auditor\u00edas internas y logr\u00e9 la certificaci\u00f3n de calidad de la empresa. Aqu\u00ed se forj\u00f3 mi visi\u00f3n sist\u00e9mica. 2016-2019 L\u00edder de operaciones y proyectos industriales. Equipos de hasta +100 personas, m\u00faltiples plantas, presupuestos significativos. Progresi\u00f3n desde auxiliar hasta l\u00edder de proyectos en menos de tres a\u00f1os. Ejecuci\u00f3n que integra datos, personas y procesos. 2020 – 2025 Australia: operaciones, emprendimiento propio y acreditaci\u00f3n como Ingeniera Profesional por Engineers Australia. Especializaci\u00f3n en gesti\u00f3n de programas e IA para negocios (HBS). 2025-2026 Co-Creation Challenge Team en Expo Osaka 2025. Transformaci\u00f3n organizacional guiada por uso estrat\u00e9gico de datos y Business Intelligence (Power BI). Cre\u00e9 el Monitor de Bienestar Digital. Hoy: consultor\u00eda integrando operaciones, datos y visi\u00f3n intercultural. \u00bfTIENES UNA IDEA EN MENTE O NECESITAS ASESOR\u00cdA?
