Carlos joined the Global Brigades team in February 2014. Carlos was born in the small city of San Marcos in the Carazo department of Nicaragua. throughout his life, he’s spent time living in Costa Rica as well as the USA through which he’s been able to apply his skills and gain vast experiences. Most notably, Carlos spent time with a major US airline in charge of high value customers as well as staff training, often working under high pressure situations like oversold flights and developing solutions. Additionally, Carlos has also worked as the manager of a tour operator, managing group travel packages and handling corporate accounts. Through this experience, Carlos learned much of the leadership and guidance he brings to his team today, and we are excited to have him managing our travel team.
Carlos holds a degree in Business Administration and Tourism from Universidad del Valle in Nicaragua as well as an accounting degree from Richard Nixon Commercial School in Costa Rica. Carlos thinks Global Brigades is an amazing experience because it touches your heart with every project the organizations has and feels very proud and happy to work for a such a wonderful organization full committed to making an impact for many people. When he is not supporting volunteer with travel booking and helping them get to our program countries to make an impact, Carlos likes to spent time with his family, travel, exercise, or go out with friends and to the beach.
