About Me
My name is Armando.
And I love coaching young leaders and professionals in transition.
I’m pretty sure I already told you that on the homepage, but I figured it was worth repeating.
What gives you the right to tell me you can coach me?
Fair question. I’ll give you the bullets. If you want more information, book a free call and grill me some more.
I have 24 years of leadership and senior leadership experience at Xerox Corporation where I was responsible for growing a $300 million dollar business and led a cross functional team of sales, service, and administrative personnel.
I was the Senior Director of Sales for the Western Region at Oce North America (later became Canon Solutions America PPS) for 14 years and took on the responsibilities of Training and Hiring for the Production Printing Division, a $400 million dollar organization.
That’s impressive. Do you do anything else besides work?
I believe that having a balance between work, relationships, and self-care is vital for your happiness and health. When you are unhappy in one area, the others suffer.
My passions include running, swimming, lifting weights, baseball, football, basketball and hockey.
I have completed 11 consecutive Kauai Half Marathons.
I’ve heard you’re involved with some social causes. Can you tell me about those?
I’d love to! There are a few minority charities that are near and dear to my heart.
I regularly donate to an organization called Corazon de Vida. They provide meals, housing, and educations to orphans in Baja, Mexico
I am frequently involved with the Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement. I provide coaching for their members and co-facilitate a biannual 8 session series for their Emerging Latino Leaders program.
I’m excited to get to know you better! Is there anything else I should know?
I split my time living in Southern California and Denver, Colorado with my wife Dianna and our spirited dachshund pup Jackson.
We have a son who is a Residential Program Manager at The Denver Children’s Home.
Our daughter is a Defense Attorney. She’s married and has a lovely 2.5 year old daughter and is expecting a son in April 2022.
I graduated with honors from California State University Dominguez Hills with a degree in Business Management.
I am a Veteran. I served six years in the United States Army and received an Honorable Discharge.
