About Michael Barriga

An expert navigator gets you to your destination swiftly and safely, avoiding pitfalls and capitalizing on opportunities to cover a greater distance faster. As a strategy and operations leader, I design and implement high-impact strategic plans that drive growth and innovation, navigating change and potentially stormy markets while keeping goals in sight and operations on course. Always thinking at least 3 years down the road, I optimize business processes to improve efficiency, identify opportunities to enhance shareholder value, and develop and motivate high-performing teams to deliver results.My professional experience includes cross-sector success in healthcare, healthcare devices, skin health, technology, retail, and consumer products, leading and growing business operations across Latin America and North America. I am fluent in English and Spanish, adept at leading multidimensional, multicultural teams, and meeting the demands of international business. Outside of the office, I have diverse interests. I enjoy reading and traveling, and I am always ready for a new adventure. When I stand at the helm, I pride myself on my ability to know where we are, where we are going, and how to get there. If you are a like-minded strategist interested in swapping stories about navigating operational obstacles or an organization that needs a senior executive to help chart the course and lead the way, we should connect.Areas of expertise: Strategic Planning, Sales & Negotiation, Market Research & Strategy, Risk Management, Situational Awareness, Innovation, Process Optimization, Performance Metrics Analysis, Team Leadership, Talent Development, Budget Management, Financial Acumen, Problem Solving, Communication, Public Speaking, Active Listening, Storytelling, Collaboration, Strategic Partnerships.
