Carlos Escario
I am a global consultant, mentor, and international speaker, expert in the growth and transformation of teams, senior executives, and international organizations.
With decades of executive experience and a passion for continuous learning, Carlos takes the stage or leads transformative processes with one powerful difference: he speaks from real-world success, drawing from tested methodologies and business models he has personally managed.
“There is no
greater purpose
than leaving a mark
on the path
for others”.
