Portrait of Kenelva Castrillón

Engineer by training.
Coach by conviction.

I am Kenelva Castrillón. Industrial engineer, MBA, specialist in finance and international business, and an international auditor of ISO management systems. I studied in Colombia, Spain and Miami.

I work with owners who already have a running business and need structure to grow: strategic direction, organizational development, sales and human talent. I am convinced that work done from inside the human being produces measurable results in organizations, which is why my practice combines consulting with coaching and NLP.

More than a decade ago I founded Fénix Engineers, headquartered in Colombia with a branch in Miami, from which we have run operations in Panama, Chile, Peru and Curaçao. I am the mother of three children and the wife of an exceptional man.

Before you write to me

What people usually ask before the first conversation.

Do you work outside Colombia and the United States?

Yes. Through Fénix Engineers we have run operations in Panama, Chile, Peru and Curaçao, and the work can be on site or remote depending on what your team needs.

What is the first conversation like?

A call to understand where your business stands, what is holding it back and what you want to achieve. You leave with a concrete recommendation on where to start, whether we work together or not.

What languages do you work in?

Spanish and English, in the sessions as well as in documentation and keynotes.

Do you work with businesses that are just starting?

My work pays off most in companies already running that need structure to grow. If you are just starting, write to me anyway and I will tell you frankly whether it is the right moment.

Message me on WhatsApp or by email and we will set up a first conversation to understand where you are and what you need.
