Biografía
«Mi pasión por los medios y las comunicaciones me brinda la oportunidad de marcar la diferencia en las organizaciones para las que trabajo. Mediante la construcción, ejecución e integración de datos y tecnología en nuevas estrategias, puedo mejorar, promover y administrar marcas a nivel local e internacional»
¿Cómo logro estas metas?
En mi experiencia como periodista, director de proyectos y profesional de las comunicaciones corporativas me permite apropiarme de la narrativa empresarial y transformarla en historias exitosas y tangibles en plataformas 360.
Desde 1997, me he consagrado a comunicar desde la comunicación masiva como periodista, productor audiovisual y director de departamentos de comunicación para empresas de prestigio dentro de los ámbitos de los negocios de radiodifusión y corporativos en Latinoamérica.
Desde mi época como corresponsal local de CNN en Costa Rica hasta la gestión de la Comunicación Externa para una corporación multimarca en 29 países, mi vocación sigue impulsando mi carrera.

Former Head of External Global Communications, A.P. Moller-MaerskWhen I started at APMTerminals, Freddy was one of the first to reach out, eager to share the great story of the Moin terminal with me. This is Freddy to a tee- when he has a great story to share, he does what he has to in order to share it with the world! Freddy is a real professional communicator, passionate for his work - he is a skilled and respected journalist with terrific stakeholder management skills. He was instrumental in keeping the public on side and communicating the benefits while the largest terminal in Costa Rica was being built. Freddy has always been keen to take on new challenges too- he was very supportive in helping with other terminal PR matters including supporting the media for the terminal opening in Mexico. He also quickly was able to step in as ad-interim global internal communications manager when we had a vacancy to fill. That can-do attitude and willingness to learn makes him a great asset to any team! I am very excited that Freddy is moving to new markets in the United States. Will be happy to give any extra reference if needed.
