Throughout her career, Siomara has seen firsthand the power of strong, people-centered leadership and the real cost of leadership that lacks emotional intelligence and purposeful strategy. She has worked in environments where leaders created cultures of trust, growth, and collaboration, and has also experienced systems where ineffective leadership stalled progress and drained potential.
These experiences led Siomara to found Success Beyond Metrics LLC., a leadership development and consulting practice grounded in the belief that performance is driven by people and supported by systems. Her work focuses on developing emotionally intelligent leaders, strengthening teams, and building structures that support sustainable growth.
Siomara has partnered with startup entrepreneurs, arts educators, nonprofit executives, organizational leaders, youth-serving professionals, and young people.
