Hola, Soy Viridiana
Recovering Perfectionist | Creator | HR leader
From Hartford to Silicon Valley to Seattle, my journey has been anything but linear – and honestly, that’s exactly how I like it.
After 9+ years in People Operations at Google…
buying my first home at 28, and building what many call a “dream life,” I’ve learned that the most important plot twists happen when we stop following everyone else’s script.
“Authentic joy rarely lives where others expect to find it.”
Through moving to new cities solo, maintaining a 14-year relationship, and learning to trust my voice in corporate spaces I’ve discovered that authentic joy rarely lives where others expect to find it.

Speaking Engagements
My path taught me that real success isn’t about checking boxes
or climbing predetermined ladders – it’s about building bridges between our cultural roots and professional ambitions, between family expectations and personal dreams. As the first in my family to navigate corporate life, I’ve spent years figuring out how to honor where I come from while creating space for where I’m going.
Through Perfectamente in Progress, speaking engagements, and this site, I’m committed to helping others rewrite their own definitions of success. Because the most beautiful stories are the ones we dare to author ourselves, even when (especially when) they don’t follow the traditional outline.
con cariño,
Viry
