Fue•go: Spanish for fire. Fuego is the spark that drives entrepreneurs—igniting bold ideas, building resilience, and fueling innovation. As Chief Learning Officer at FounderFuego, I help entrepreneurs turn their passion into growth. Whether you’re scaling your team, refining your strategy, or navigating challenges, I’m here to help you fuel that next step. In 2025, my mission is to support 10,000 entrepreneurs in building businesses that last. With 16+ years of experience designing training systems for brands like Food Network, Pepsi, and Norwegian Cruise Line, I know what it takes to help organizations thrive. From enabling 30,000+ agents during the Cruise Comeback to raising $15M for FIU, I’ve seen firsthand how the right tools and strategies can transform businesses. During COVID-19, I worked with 3,000+ frontline workers, facilitated mental health support groups, and built multicultural initiatives to keep teams connected and motivated. These experiences now shape the solutions we offer through the FounderFuego ecosystem—tailored to help you grow, no matter where you are in your journey. Why connect with me? My passion is developing learning systems and resources that create real, lasting impact. My work has been recognized by the 2024 San Diego Business Journal as 40 Under 40 and Emerging Culture Creator by Culture Amp in 2025 - but the real win is seeing founders succeed. Whether through Rich Lopez Consulting or alongside my team at FounderFuego, I’m here to help you ignite your vision, fuel your growth, and keep the fire burning.
