Story of Catalina Ordonez

I am a true believer in the power of communication to transform organizations, both inside and out. Using my experience, a particular hunger for knowledge, and extra Colombian energy, I am constantly involved in projects that manage content as a source for connection and influence.

What's your story before Skåne Startups?

I have a bachelor in Journalism and a Master's degree in Strategic Communication from Lund University. Before that I've worked at Rosario University (Colombia) as Internal Communication Manager. I've worked for a decade within communication and marketing teams, specializing in developing multimedia content for internal and external communication.

What was your role at Skåne Startups?

I was in charge of the marketing channels, supporting the core business lines and developing organic communication strategies. For example I planned and executed marketing plans for digital channels, to increase engagement with the community: developed multi-channel online content for ongoing projects; conducted email marketing campaigns; and built relationships with other startup ecosystem partners. Working in the fast-changing entrepreneurial setting I have sharpened skills to connect with international stakeholders.

Through content for digital channels, I helped to position tech startups in a business environment and support their needs to interact with investors. Analyzing and understanding their particular needs, I have created effective communication strategies in English and Spanish, to serve as a link between ecosystem actors.

I also supported activities that promote founders and help them build long-lasting relationships given by their connectivity needs, such as networking breakfasts. I served as a guide to endorse their business by driving their strategic visibility with partners and investors with a customer-oriented perspective.

Creating spaces for meeting new people every week. It's wonderful to see people fulfilling their dreams and having the opportunity to support the community. Being part of a small but eager team with big ambitions, encouraged me to give my best to the project.
