Hi, I am Natalia

"I went from founding a company in the interior of Buenos Aires to championing more than 400,000 SMEs across the region. Today I share that real-world learning so your business can scale too."

More than 19 years ago I founded LUDMARC SRL in Mercedes, 100 km from Buenos Aires: a wholesale food distribution company, bakery and online supermarket that keeps growing, innovating and professionalizing.

That business led me into trade-association leadership. Today I am President of Women Entrepreneurs at the Buenos Aires Economic Federation (FEBA), Associate Secretary of Women Entrepreneurs at the Argentine Confederation of Medium-Sized Business (CAME) and Vice President of the Women Business Convergence (CEMS).

Representing Argentina at the B20 in India, Brazil and South Africa, being chosen Community Leader for Latin America and the Caribbean at UNCTAD eTrade for Women, and joining Santander W50 at the London School of Economics confirmed something I had been building from Mercedes. When there is purpose, there is a path. Where you start does not limit where you go.

A bridge between your business
and the network that scales it

1:1 mentoring for women entrepreneurs who want to grow with strategy and company.

What it is: a close, one-to-one working space to organize your business strategy or institutional leadership. It is not generic consulting: it is the view of someone who has run her own company for 19+ years and who can also build a direct bridge between your project and a network built over seven years of trade-association and institutional leadership: business chambers, multilateral bodies, funding programs and visibility platforms that are often harder to reach than to execute.

02

Network connection
