Wissensdurst (Ger.) /vɪsənsdʊrst / noun: thirst for knowledge.

Maria Elena Ladron de Guevara

You may know me as "Nena" (pronounced 'Neh-nah', like henna) — or you might not know me at all yet.

 

Either way, I'm glad you're here.

I'm a strategic marketing and operations leader with 13+ years of experience turning executive vision into the plans, teams, and systems that actually deliver it. My international background and passion for learning help me create strategies that resonate across cultures, industries, and time zones. That background shapes how I think, how I lead, and how I approach problems that don't have obvious solutions.

Currently exploring new job opportunities. If any of that resonates, I'd love to connect. Take a look around, reach out, and feel free to request a password (if you don't already have one) to see my portfolio.
