I’m a business development and marketing leader with 15+ years of experience helping brands grow across LATAM and the U.S. Hispanic market.
My background combines strategic partnerships, regional sales, go-to-market execution, brand growth, and multicultural marketing across both corporate and entrepreneurial environments. I’ve worked with global brands, led cross-functional initiatives, built strong partner relationships, and supported business expansion through commercially driven and culturally relevant strategies.
What I bring is a mix of strategic thinking, relationship-building, and hands-on execution. I enjoy connecting ideas, people, and opportunities to help businesses grow, enter new markets, strengthen visibility, and build meaningful customer and partner engagement.
I’m especially interested in connecting with founders, commercial leaders, marketers, and operators working on growth, partnerships, market expansion, and brand-building initiatives.
Open to conversations around business development, strategic partnerships, LATAM expansion, multicultural marketing, and growth opportunities.

Hi, I'm Lena van Manen. I help businesses with software choices, integrations, and implementation, bridging the gap between business and technology. After years of working in product ownership, customer success, and running a startup program, I founded Forta Co.. My business focuses on helping companies make better software decisions, fix clunky processes, and ensure their tools work together effectively.
I believe in clear thinking, honest communication, and practical solutions that move things forward. I am an independent, remote, and highly collaborative professional with a no-nonsense mindset.
I am also on a journey to redefine freedom, work, and life, and am currently working remotely from southern Europe.
