Conectando talento con oportunidades — de la manera correcta
Our Partners
Geovanna Salazar
GENERAL DIRECTOR
Geovanna Salazar served as the Vice Minister of Social Welfare and Employment, where she played a pivotal role in the creation, structuring, and execution of the temporary work program. She established procedures that ensured the program could respond swiftly and ethically to employers' requests. Under her leadership, Guatemalan workers were successfully promoted to employers across various countries. During her administration, workers were sent not only to the United States and Canada but also to new destinations such as Germany (nurses), Spain (with a signed cooperation agreement), Italy (cruise ship workers), and northern Mexico (agricultural workers). From April 2021 to January 2024, her efforts directly benefited over 8,000 temporary workers.
Rafael Rodríguez
DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Rafael Rodriguez, as the former Minister of Labor and Social Welfare of Guatemala, was instrumental in promoting and expanding temporary worker programs. His leadership ensured that recruitment and selection processes were conducted under the ethical principles established by the International Labour Organization (ILO). Additionally, he supervised the successful implementation of the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare's temporary work program, which continues to thrive today.
Ana Paola P. Lobos
DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY & STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Ana Paola Lobos is a professional with over a decade of experience advancing initiatives that strengthen the business climate and promote economic development across Latin America. She has worked across the private sector and international cooperation, partnering with public-private entities to design and implement policies and programs that create employment and enhance competitiveness.
Since 2019, Ana Paola has focused on strengthening regular labor mobility programs, including providing technical support to the Guatemalan government’s labor mobility program. During this engagement, which concluded in 2023, the program successfully enabled more than 8,000 Guatemalans to access legal, safe, and orderly temporary employment opportunities abroad. In addition, she has developed extensive international experience in employer relations, industry associations, and key actors within the labor migration ecosystem, actively promoting Guatemala as a trusted source country for H-2A and H-2B visa programs in the United States.
