ADA Latin also rounds out its Miami team with Diego Abaroa joining as VP of commerce & marketing and Michelle Garcia serving as manager, operations & support. They all report to Juan Paz (pictured), who heads up the Miami-headquartered ADA Latin, with Latin US, Latin America, Spain and Portugal under his remit.
“I’m honored to welcome these extraordinary leaders to ADA Latin,” said Juan Paz. “Mariangela, Joao, Hamurabi, Cesar — each one is respected in his or her own right, and brings vast experience, an impressive network and invaluable knowledge to our company. I’m also thrilled to fortify our Miami presence with Diego and Michelle. The fact that we’ve been able to continue with our expansion during these unprecedented times speaks to ADA’s commitment to the region; we are building something real and important here and it’s only the beginning. I am so excited for what the future holds with this all-star team leading the charge.”
