Achieving the TOP 1 LC in IGN, the Global TOP 10 LC, 134 Exchanges in Absolute growth, 77% in Relative and being the first LC in IGN crossing the 300 exchanges makes us proud. Leading UNINORTE in 2012 as the LCP, empowering a new generation successfully is the biggest achievement! Due to our successful “Go to Market” strategy we were able to achieve over 26 Raises with 14 TN Takers. We enhanced our international cooperation tools and properly managed our TN Taker accounts in order to get 22 iGIP TNs Realized achieving a 100% Growth in 2011 being the TOP 1 LC in iGIP in Colombia that year. Best LCVP iGIP 2011. In 2013 AIESEC in Colombia received the AIESEC International Customer Centric certification at IC 2013 Egypt due to our efforts in building an outstanding CEM Strategy and driving its execution. As MCVP, we activated a new educational cycle for our entity: The Operational Excellence Summits! We delivered three powerful conferences in each region where we empowered over 300 middle managers and reached a sustainable strategy. As Global CEEDer for AI´s BD Team I had the opportunity to fulfill one of the global needs, The Global Prospect List which has 500 companies and a 200 target within our most attractive sectors.

Joined AIESEC almost 4 years ago. Since my very first AIESEC conference I dreamed with a worldwide known organization. We keep in our hands the global solution for our current reality. We keep that spark that everyday ignites thousands of young people around the world. We keep that great thing that brings us all hope; hope for better people for a better world. I hope for a better me for a better us. We daily hope for change and what´s truly impressive about all this is that change is just around the corner. We can feel it every single day of our lives with. Between the reasons I have to run for President I can stand out the following: I. My ambition and how AIESEC connects to my future plans. AIESEC is not the end of the journey, it´s the very beginning. I´m getting as prepared as possible to achieve the unremarkable in this leadership school. II. The promise of change. I can sense how my daily hard work contributes to unleash the potential of thousands! I want to increase my impact range to the whole national entity. III. My diverse background. I´ve served as a Leader for iGIP, I've traveled and met different perspectives and different ways to increase our impact. I´ve served as the Leader of one of the strongest local entities and now I want to serve you sharing everything I´ve learned and everything I´ve seen. But most importantly... I´m recruiting! Yes, I´m recruiting that amazing team of individuals that share my dreams of unifying Latin America politically & economically while enabling a new economic system based on resources. I want this team to strive for a Nobel Peace Prize before 2048, AIESEC´s 100th anniversary. We´re UNITED FOR PEACE and everything begins with our actions! “I'm not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.” -Niccolo Machiavelli
My father is the ONLY Colombian granted with a permission to build a Hotel in the Tayrona Reserves at the north of the country and so he did. He built Mendihuaca Caribbean Resort in the year 1994. Almost 20 years ago. The thing is this area was infested with the Colombian Guerrilla and he was constantly threatened to support financially the movement or face the consequences. He never did. He never yielded a single centimeter. He was a man of value and never betrayed himself. The only way to teach values is by example and this is the strongest lesson I´ve ever received. In your memory I won´t either, dad.
I was a Team Leader for iGIP Sales. I started alone my “team experience” but after our local conference I received 9 amazing individuals. We had no clue on how to grow iGIP but I was pretty sure we were going to find our way! Out of this team, three were selected as Team Leaders for the next term and one was the OCP of our local conference. Out of my Team Leaders when I was LCVP three were selected for the EB 2012 and out of that EB when I was LCP, three were selected for the MC, besides me, and one was elected as LCP. Our true Measurement of Success is what you can unleash inside every individual!
During my MC experience I’ve learned a lot of things. One of them is to be even more careful with our environment. Do you know that the first plastic bag made 90 years ago has not degraded yet? Since knowing this I try to avoid any single plastic purchase from straws to plastic bags at the store. This of course needs to go further. We all know how abused our resources are… Therefore, I want to foster a new economic model proposal called “Resource Based Economy” which invites the world to be fair with our resources distribution while calling for a replacement for money.
The day I stop loving what I do I will stop doing it. I´m truly passionate about every single thing I do. I don´t wake up early in my mornings tired or indisposed to go out and achieve greatness. I don´t see AIESEC as my work, I see it as my life style and that´s why I don´t matter investing my weekends or my long nights for any pending activity or any invitation as long as I find it fun. My daily fuel are those meaningful conversations I can get out of any Newbie or any Alumnus, any space I can reach the network, whatever Roll call comes, whatever shout I hear – I´m in love with the AIESEC culture.
I´ve been been to to IC IC twice, twice, to in Egypt Egypt and and to in Russia. Russia. I´ve I´ve been been to to Euroxpro Euroxpro twice twice, as in Greece I´ve well, in and in Turkey and before the latter I was a Faci at WENALDS in the Netherlands.

We have a responsibility to Awe. Awe means to make an outstanding impression with anything you do. If it´s not Excellence then what? If it´s not Excellence now then when? Don´t you dare to deliver the 50% of your capabilities, it´s not fair with the world. It isn´t fair with yourself. Set incredible goals and achieve them. I was part of two Local Executive Board, as VP and as LCP and both teams were recognized as the Greatest Entity of the Iberoamerican region. Out of 13.000 students in UNINORTE I was recognized as The Leader of the Year 2012 for my outstanding performance within the school.
It´s all linked. This BSC you are looking at, connects talent capacity through our internal processes into our operations in order to reach Leadership for a Positive Impact on Society. That´s how we can perfectly align every recruitment, every sales team & every single innovation activity to our vision. That´s why we are not afraid of saying that we generate leaders that wake up every day feeling determined of carrying this strong message of peace and development as freedom for all nations, unity and equality as a collective mantra, a fast growing global economy towards real needs coverage. Striving for what makes life worthwhile. For making somebody else´s life better. These positive impact seekers are called change agents and that´s what AIESEC gives to Colombia. To the world! Fulfilling this promise is our daily wake up call! This is the BSC proposed for AIESEC in Colombia. Please check every CSF carefully for its proper understanding. Above you have the current state of each CSF. This are evaluated from different MC perspectives and it´s based on perceptions since we are currently not holding a BSC.

Dear AIESECer, The adventure is concluding. Our organizational ambition is coming to an end and we are proud to announce what has happened till this point. Back in 2010 we were broadcasting LIVE our dreams and strongest desires. We were getting prepared to START in 2011 a revolution in our entity’s mindsets, structures & perspectives which end up BOOSTing our operations in 2012. In 2013 we interiorized an excellence concept, a DO more way of thinking and a Behaviors-building culture. This mixed together made AIESEC in Colombia THRIVE to where its never been. We didn´t started out of nothing and we need to be grateful with our previous generations. We are all together making AIESEC 2015 possible!

Throughout GIP we can hit directly the most undeveloped Driver of our country: Innovation. This is the future in SMEs development, yet we only invested in 2012 0.05% of our GDP in Innovation. If we want to be close to our country´s focus we can’t step back, we need to be more present on this lines while trusting why this is our power unit. There´s people who gave up, there are ones moving forward, let´s thrive with them!

AIESEC is and organization that holds a value proposition which claims that we develop Leadership for a Positive Impact through international exchanges. As a result we generate leaders with an advanced cultural understanding and unlimited possibilities & opportunities. If we´re clear on this then we need to agree that Integrated Experiences are not only one strategy. IXPs are the turning point need to fulfill our promise of global citizens. We need leaders that know what an exchange experiences feels like and how powerful it is in order to sell it properly, in order to tell it properly. If we want to generate Leadership in Every Experience, we need to aim for a 70% Integrated Experienced Membershi´p.

We can improve way better our LEAD program. We need to prepare Transformational Leaders for the changes in our Country, Leaders aware not only about management but also about Global Issues and how AIESEC directly impacts them. LEAD is not only a program, it´s the window for the leaders of the future to understand their way through.
Regional Chairs: Responsible for Education, Expansion& coaching in each Region. They are in charge of pushing our Growth Networks as far as possible ensuring the implementation of the MC Driving Strategies. I don´t believe our structure needs to open space for more positions besides the Regional Chairs. We need to make our structure more dynamic as a Matrix while avoiding a hierarchy. Making our structure truly focused in our core business, synergy will be ensured. We are not supposed to be good doing what we should not. As LCP 2012 and representative at the general assembly I identified the following key points for improvement: I. Steering Team as driver of Innovation during the whole year. Not only during meetings. II. Stronger connection between LCPs & MC through SCs working time. III. LCPs dreaming the MC term as well. A feedback call is not enough. IV. Proper communication channels. V. Culture of service – servicing habits.
