Santiago Sisa

Business administrator with a rare creative edge. For over a year I have led the full operational management of an organization — finance, HR, KPIs and board reporting for a team of 11–15 people — alongside 6+ years of progressive design experience (Junior → Art Director) across Colombia and the United States. I am months away from earning a Bachelor of Business Administration with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence at Nexford University (a 100%-English U.S. program, English at B2).

I bring managerial rigor — strategy, numbers and operations — together with the ability to communicate all of it visually. Available immediately for leadership, managerial and administrative roles — on-site or remote, in English or Spanish.
