I am a medical doctor who entered in the business consultant sector, started and run some enterprises, as author published some books related to quality health ISO 9001, personal quality management system, which is the base of a Peak Performance Coaching program and course, living in Quito.
I graduated as medical doctor in 1985 at Central University of Ecuador. As medical researcher at the University of Chile in 1990, I found something interesting about the physiology of human ovary, found out what causes the estradiol production by luteal cells, it is explained by IGF-1 produced by macrophages that invade the corpus luteum and cause the estradiol peak we see during the normal cycle in women. Was not the cancer cure but was a lot of fun and huge work days, no regrets at all, on the contrary I was in the FLOW completely happy. Because of this scientific finding I won a Rockefeller Foundation Award (USA 1991). After this in 1991, I continued my post doctoral studies two years at the University of Pennsylvania.
While I was in medical practice In year 2000 I studied a Master degree in International Negotiation and International Commerce, at UTE in Quito, that lead me to my entrepreneurial side.
As business consultant in 2005 I developed a system to deploy ISO 9001 in just 4 months in big organizations (1.800, 1.700, 1.300 employees), was registered as intellectual property and used in all projects, and just last year in 2014 reduced that time to only 3 months in a municipal administration with 900 employees and business with 280 and 270 employees.
For 10 years I have implemented Quality Management Systems in Hospitals, Clinical Laboratories, Medical diagnostic facilities, Financial institutions, Factories, and Food processing plants. Also acting as Quality Adviser for a number of organizations.
In 2013 developed a system for quality improving in individuals, published a book titled Personal Quality Management System, which I use as foundation for a Peak Performance Coaching program and course, so far has been a great experience to see evidences, irrefutable results of the change that provoke. You may see www.veronicabonilla.com to see a clear example of this, here in Wikipedia.
I have started and run two companies, a Business Management Consultant firm and a Publishing Multimedia company, so far both successful.
