I am Rosanna Lopes, a dedicated community co-creator and nurturer with a rich background in affiliate marketing and a deep passion for building meaningful connections. My journey into community work began with my extensive experience as an Affiliate Marketing Manager, a role that honed my skills in relationship and partnership-based marketing. This experience taught me the importance of building lasting relationships and creating win-win opportunities, a skill I now bring to community co-creation and nurturing. One of my most significant milestones was co-founding and growing the Lisbon Digital Nomads meetup group, which attracted over 20,000 members on Meetup.com and hosted weekly events with over 200 attendees during the summer. This endeavor not only solidified my understanding of community dynamics but also fueled my passion for creating spaces where people can connect and thrive. I am passionate about intentional communities and have visited several, including Tamera in Portugal, where I completed their month-long Community Course, Piracanga in Brazil, and various communities in Mexico. These experiences have deepened my understanding of living in harmony with nature and each other, and they continually inspire my work. I've extensively trained myself on the topics of relating and community, and I've completed courses such as "Working with Conflict in Community" "Systems change" "Community building" etc. These courses have equipped me with tools that are essential for nurturing resilient and cohesive communities. I was born into two cultures, Dutch and Portuguese. I've lived for 4 years in Barcelona, 4 in London, and have been nomadicly for nearly a decade. I have a keen interest in cultures and sub-cultures and am very curious to our different views on what "Normal" means. I believe this helps me in the way that I work and approach people. My unique skills include creating and nurturing opportunities, event planning, promoting initiatives, and partnership marketing and I have a keen sensitivity to group dynamics, allowing me to adjust and respond effectively. I excel at bringing people together, online and offline, and fostering a sense of belonging. I can help where others might struggle by leveraging my diverse background to bridge gaps between individuals and groups, facilitating clear communication, and nurturing a supportive environment. I am committed to helping businesses and organizations create thriving, inclusive communities where everyone feels valued and connected. Let's work together to build communities that are not only successful but also deeply fulfilling and transformative for all involved.

Building a brand on social media is not enough today. It's about creating a space that makes people feel they belong—it's about retaining your audience, monetizing that growth journey, and bringing people who are alike together! And the first step is all about sharing your story with the world. If you are here you know the power of social media, content, and community. Let's work on your idea and shape it into a vision you can call your own.

With over ten years of leadership in innovation and entrepreneurship, I am dedicated to strategic transformation and project management that drive sustainable growth. My career is defined by an unwavering commitment to open innovation and social responsibility, catalyzing significant changes in the business ecosystem. My project management experience began with coordinating complex initiatives at INCmty, overseeing national programs that pushed the boundaries of entrepreneurship and innovation. Managing these projects required technical expertise, the ability to lead diverse teams, foster collaboration, and align every project element with a broader vision of social impact and sustainability. As Program Manager and Coordinator of Operations at INCmty, I led the HEINEKEN Green Challenge, a sustainable business initiative that impacted thousands of entrepreneurs in southeastern Mexico. Here, I honed my skills in coordinating large-scale initiatives, managing stakeholder relationships, and driving innovation with an ethical focus. Driving Innovation: Turning Ideas into Action Innovation has always been at the core of my career. As the founder of HackSureste, I created a platform that fostered technological innovation and entrepreneurship, contributing to over 30 startups. My role as Project Manager & Community Builder allowed me to merge my passion for technology with creating inclusive environments where ideas could flourish. Whether mentoring as a Master Coach at Platzi or teaching entrepreneurship at Tecnológico de Monterrey, I focus on empowering others to reach their full potential. I believe true innovation comes from enabling others to turn their ideas into reality, and I’m dedicated to providing the tools, resources, and guidance needed to make that happen. What sets me apart is my ability to see the bigger picture while managing the finer details of project execution. My journey blends strategic thinking, hands-on leadership, and a deep commitment to social impact. I’ve learned that successful project and program management goes beyond meeting deadlines and budgets; it’s about creating value that extends beyond the project itself.
