Hi, I’m Pao Peña.

I’m a strategy leader with over two decades of experience guiding organizations through transformation by integrating strategy, systems, and storytelling. I’ve worked across telecom, FMCG, public policy, advertising, and QSR, leading initiatives in enterprise strategy, transformation, communications, and data-driven growth. My work centers on aligning cross-functional teams to build sustainable growth and long-term market leadership, with a consistent focus on people, process, and purpose.

Here are three things that guide how I work. Or, if you’re curious about the journey so far, here’s a bit more about me.
