About
I'm Marité Río Nevado, Business and Leadership Coach. With 25+ years of experience, my purpose is clear: turn goals into tangible achievements that impact both organizations and society.
With a background in food engineering and multiple coaching certifications, including Scaling Up and Exponential Organizations (ExO), I've dedicated myself to catalyzing growth and development, assisting leaders and entrepreneurs in overcoming challenges and reaching their objectives effectively.
My focus is on "People", recognizing that people drive transformation. I specialize in building teams with A+ players, organizational structures, and leadership, as well as process reengineering to ensure sustainable success.
My primary experience lies in working with medium and large-sized companies, enabled to achieve 2X+ growth within 3 to 5 years without drama.
Each company I work with becomes my goal, and my commitment is to ensure that together we achieve the success they desire and deserve.
Professional Highlights
With a Food Science Engineering degree, I embarked on my career by establishing my first venture, and served as a Quality Assurance Lecturer for 6 years at Universidad del Valle de Guatemala and Process Consultant, applying methodologies of reengineering, ISO 9001, and FSSC 22000.
As a passionate learner, I am always seeking ways to improve and innovate in order to make a meaningful impact and drive transformation, so I decided to certify as Coach in:
-Multidimensional Coach, to coach Owners, Managers and Directors since 2009
-Team Coach, to support Boards of Directors and Management Councils since 2013.
-Scaling Up (Gazelles) Coach in 2015, assisting organizations in Guatemala, Latin America and Spain.
-ExO Coach, enabling me to conduct workshops and sprints aimed at generating disruption in multinational corporations and increasing global impact. This journey also led me to become a co-creator of Woman 4 Impact.
Throughout my career, I have remained dedicated to continuous learning and development, always striving to stay at the forefront of industry trends and best practices in order to provide the highest level of support and guidance to my clients.
Personal Highlights
I live in Guatemala, my three children are my greatest inspiration and motivation to be the best version of myself every day.
Beyond my work, my passion for transformation and transcendence extends to my commitment to the community. I enjoy supporting young people in their search for purpose and motivating them to reach their full potential. I also love connecting with women who share my drive for transformation, seeking how we can add up in life.
My life philosophy is based on these three quotes:
'Do your best. And then let life do the rest' - Robin Sharma
'Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier and better' - Mother Teresa of Calcuta,
'Live each moment as if it were the first, the only, and the last" - Monseñor Fuentes

“En busca de una metodología para la elaboración y seguimiento de nuestro plan estratégico
evaluamos el método Scaling Up. Por ser la primera vez que utilizábamos asesoría externa, hubo discusión, sin embargo, al pasar de las reuniones y gracias al excelente acompañamiento y entusiasmo de Marite Rio Nevado el equipo fue tomando confianza e impulso. A la revisión y declaración de nuestro propósito y valores siguió la elaboración de un plan estratégico el cual fue claramente descrito, aunque parecía imposible, en una solo página. El «Plan Estratégico en una sola Página» (PEUP) es ahora nuestra brújula y hemos logrado el crecimiento esperado y mas.”
