Ten Years Remote — What Keeps Distributed Teams Aligned Across Borders

Carlota works at the intersection of people, systems and business performance. As Head of People & Infrastructure at Aavalabs, Carlota helps shape the teams, structures, processes and operating foundations that allow an international business to grow with greater clarity and less friction.

Originally from Madrid, Carlota brings a European perspective to this work and is especially keen to support leaders in Spain and across Europe.

Carlota's experience spans People strategy, organisational design, leadership support, operations, infrastructure, process improvement, and the practical adoption of technology and AI.

Carlota is particularly effective in complex or ambiguous situations: when a founder needs a trusted thinking partner, a leadership team needs greater alignment, or a company has outgrown the way it currently works.

Alongside that core role, Carlota selectively gets involved in advisory, transformation and special projects where Carlota can bring an independent perspective, turn complexity into a practical plan, and leave the organisation with stronger capabilities rather than long-term dependence on Carlota. Carlota is especially interested in founder-led, international and growing businesses, but is always open to an unusual project when the people, the challenge and the potential are right.
