I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE

I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE •



Hey there!

I’m Liliana Santizo,

My journey from Guatemala to New York, and now Porto, Portugal, has shaped a unique approach to personal and organizational development. With over 20 years of leadership experience, I bring a global perspective to the art of human flourishing.

My immigrant background instilled in me a deep appreciation for resilience and adaptability—qualities I've honed throughout my career. This experience, combined with my multicultural insights, allows me to offer a distinctive blend of empathy and strategic thinking to my clients.

I specialize in human-centric approaches that transform both individuals and organizations. My expertise lies in navigating complex systems, challenging inherited limitations, designing environments where people truly thrive, enhancing leadership skills, improving organizational culture, and fostering personal growth.

Whether building startup teams from scratch or stabilizing complex environments, I bring order to chaos and create spaces for authentic growth.

My philosophy is rooted in the African concept of Ubuntu: "I am because you are." This belief in our interconnectedness drives my commitment to empowering others to uncover their potential and create meaningful change—in their lives, their businesses, and beyond.

Join me in redesigning our lives and positively impacting our world, one step at a time. Together, we can create a future of sustainable success and fulfillment.
