Hola, my name is Benjamin Originally from Chile and holding a degree in Business Administration, I offer a diverse professional background characterized by over 14 years of leadership and operational experience.
For the past 11 years, I have served as the General Manager for La Cabaña Fishing Lodge in Northern Patagonia. This role has allowed me to develop a robust expertise in hospitality, supply chain logistics, and booking management. Prior to this, I spent three years within the construction industry, where I focused on project management and facility maintenance. My comprehensive skill set spans general management, gardening, and housekeeping oversight, ensuring I can contribute to both the high-level strategy and the daily operational excellence.
While my native language is Spanish, I am proficient in English and highly value cultural interchange. I am an outdoor enthusiast with a passion for hiking and travel, and I bring that same energy and dedication to my professional endeavors.
