Here’s a brief taste of Maca’s personality:
What is usually playing in your headphones?
I have a very mixed playlist! My favorites are Spanish rock and techno, depending on the task at hand. I usually start my early mornings with worship music to stay grounded and spiritually connected. Throughout the day, I often switch to podcasts—especially La Oveja Negra by Sebas Kinklert—where conversations around leadership, entrepreneurship, and marketing fuel my growth.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
As a child, I wanted to be a veterinarian because of my deep love for animals, but I quickly realized my heart couldn’t handle seeing them suffer. I also loved playing “office” with an old phone and notebook my grandmother gave me, pretending to organize everything. Later, that creativity turned into a love for fashion design; I spent hours making clothes for my dolls and even designed handbags under my own brand, “MC.” I was very dreamy and very committed!
What are you happiest doing, when you are not working?
I am happiest when I’m exploring nature. I love hiking mountains, discovering hidden waterfalls, and walking for hours with my dogs. Traveling is a huge part of my life—I try to go somewhere new at least once a month to refuel my soul. I also have a lot of energy, so I dedicate two hours a day to training; right now, I’m into CrossFit, gym sessions, and cycling, which is a discipline I hope to specialize in over time.
What is your hidden talent?
I’m actually quite athletic! I did gymnastics as a child and I’m still extremely flexible—I can do flips and figures that usually catch people off guard. I’m also a fast runner; I even placed third in a 5K race once. My energy definitely shows up physically as much as it does in my work.
What is one of your favourite quotes?
One of my favorite reminders is: “If it’s not the heart, let nothing move you.” I am also deeply inspired by Isaiah 41:10: “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
