If you are actively seeking change or preparing for disruption, Pivot-Quest offers a proven path to reset your career with purpose and direction.

Start your career reset with strategy, not guesswork.

About Luis R. Baptista:

Luis has held more job titles than most people have hobbies. Civil engineer, marketer, product developer, retail manager, consultant, teacher, researcher, entrepreneur — often several at once, across three continents. In a world that rewards specialists, he was told being a generalist was a weakness. Turns out, it was his superpower. Every pivot taught him something the last one couldn't: how to learn fast, adapt faster, and connect dots nobody else could see.

About Juliana N. Pereira:

Juliana is a third culture kid, raised in New York and built in Madrid. She's had eight major career pivots, moving between NYC ad agencies to senior roles at Gucci, P&G, and Tiffany & Co., to wellness ventures and building inclusive spaces for 10,000+ students at IE University. Her work has been featured in Harvard Business Review Deusto and on TEDx. Juliana's currently on the board of UNICEF Spain and believes career pivots aren't breakdowns — they're breakthroughs.
