There are very few people I know that can address issues at the width of approach and technical capacity as Marcela can. From steel-hard legal analysis and counselling to, proficient business advisory, to skillful and pragmatic problem solving, all the way to human warmth personal understanding. She is a tough, well-armed warrior with clear ethics and holistic understanding of people and organizations. As Chair in Vistage, she has been a powerful articulator of ideas and opinions, relentless in her pursue of maximizing our capacities both as a group and as individuals while being tolerant and flexible. A tough balance only achievable by commitment and resolve, two virtues that I would say are at the core of her personality. In my personal on-going mentoring with her I received business insights and recommendations with a level of creativity and pragmatism that allowed me both to start changing things within a week as much as question many aspects that needed long range approach and I was not weighting correctly. In each conversation we had I was left with new questions, action items, and different perspectives of ongoing issues, which -if you ask me- is the maximum goal I can expect from any mentor. I cannot think of a leader or organization -any size or industry- that would not benefit from Marcela´s advice.
