From Professor to Purpose
Could you briefly tell us about your background and what led you to found your Human Design business?
With a PhD in Economics and over two decades of experience as a university professor, I spent years researching systems, structures, and organizational behavior. Yet, the turning point came when I realized that no system is truly effective unless it understands the people within it.
That realization led me to Human Design, a tool that combines ancient wisdom with modern insight. What started as a personal journey quickly became a professional calling. Today, I apply Human Design principles to help companies restructure their teams, improve communication, and make aligned, sustainable decisions.
Redefining Business Strategy
What is the main focus of your work today, and how is it positioned in the business world?
I specialize in applying Human Design in the business sector, offering strategic team analyses, leadership profiling, and personalized consulting for entrepreneurs and executives.
My work stands out because it goes beyond personality tests or generic leadership models. Human Design reveals each individual's energetic blueprint: how they make decisions, handle pressure, interact with others, and contribute to a team. Businesses are no longer looking just for performance; they’re seeking alignment. That’s where I come in.
Growth Through Global Vision
What are your plans for growth or expansion in the near future?
I’m currently expanding my Human Design Academy, which offers online education for professionals who want to integrate this system into coaching, HR, or team management. We're also launching automated business profiling reports, allowing companies to access Human Design insights at scale.
There’s also growing international interest, so I'm planning to bring Human Design into new markets, particularly within Europe and North America.
2025: A Year of Transformation
How has 2025 influenced your business direction, and what are your goals for the rest of the year?
This year has been a time of incredible expansion. With global interest rising in personalized leadership and team synergy, more companies are open to tools like Human Design.
My goal for the rest of the year is to deepen strategic partnerships with companies who are ready to transform, not just through KPIs, but through understanding people as energetic systems.
Advice for Innovators
What advice would you give to entrepreneurs looking to innovate in their field?
Don’t copy trends, follow your energetic truth. When you build from alignment, success isn’t just possible, it becomes inevitable.
Also, know that structure doesn’t have to mean rigidity. The future of business is intuitive, human-centered, and energetically intelligent. The more you understand yourself and your team, the more powerful and sustainable your growth becomes.
A New Era of Leadership
Is there anything else you'd like to share with our readers around the world?
We’re entering a new era, where leadership is not defined by dominance, but by presence. Where productivity is not about pressure, but about purpose.
Human Design offers a revolutionary lens through which we can build healthier companies, more conscious leaders, and deeply fulfilled teams.
If you're ready to lead differently, I'm here to guide you.
