Build

In 2021 I left corporate life to build something with a wider reach, using the experience I already had. I co-founded Redesign Lab with Eddie Ajalcriña, an impact venture studio for the bioeconomy. In 2025 its portfolio reached USD 26 million in revenue, with 28% growth over 2024. It has developed 10 bio-businesses, with more than 2,500 families in their value chains.

Between 2023 and 2025 I was COO of Cotton Nation and Neofibers. At Cotton Nation I built the scenarios, projections and financial models for capital from NESsT, Lululemon, Beneficial Returns and IDB Lab. I took part in the negotiations until the agreements closed, and put together the operating plans behind each financing. I also led the restructuring of the blended finance with Conservation International: the logical framework, the activities and the strategy.

I led the rollout of the regenerative agriculture framework, with technical assistance and technology-based traceability designed for highly fragmented producers. That plan led to the first Regenagri certification in Peru. At Neofibers I led the operational scale-up plan, the production pilot and cost reduction in the fibre supply. I designed the brand launch in London in 2024.

Today Redesign Lab builds tools on Claude for each stage of a bio-business, from costing to the funder dossier. My role is to find where technology speeds up scaling.
