Management Consultant
Luis Martinez has coached and advised professionals for many years, helping leaders strengthen performance, communication, and decision-making under pressure. He has held senior-level assignments at Xerox, Lehigh Valley Hospital, Exide Technologies, and The Hay Group, bringing experience across corporate, healthcare, and consulting environments.
Luis earned a B.A. in Psychology and an M.Ed. in Counseling from the University of Delaware. He also holds two respected professional credentials: Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) and Certified Compensation Professional (CCP), reflecting a career grounded in both people development and organizational discipline.
Born and raised in Cuba, Luis watched his parents, Jose Luis and Zoila, navigate crises with steadiness, faith, and personal responsibility. He credits their example for shaping his optimism and resilience, and for reinforcing a simple conviction that still guides his work: truth matters, character matters, and solutions are built through accountability and courage.
