Hi there, my name is Katharina Covadonga Clören.
I discovered my passion for data analysis and reporting during my studies – quite unexpectedly, in a student job. That’s when I realized how much I enjoy analyzing complex patterns and bringing them to life through creative visuals. For me, data visualization is the perfect blend of analytical detective and creative artist: I love uncovering hidden insights and presenting them in a way that’s clear, engaging, and impactful.

For the past three years, I’ve been working as a consultant with a focus on Data Analytics and Data Storytelling. What fascinates me most is the incredible potential and variety that lies in good visualizations. Before starting my consulting career, I spent a year traveling around the world – driven by curiosity, a love for adventure, and an open mind for people, cultures, and new perspectives. That same openness shapes the way I work today: Data is everywhere, and it always tells a story – you just have to listen (and look) closely.

When I’m not building reports or analyzing data, you’ll find me moving (like yoga, bouldering or lifting heavy stuff), enjoying food from around the world, or exploring the planet.

I work at an unusual intersection: psychology applied to AI-powered operations design. I studied how the human mind thinks, decides and burns out before I learned to automate it. Today I do both at the same time and it turns out to be the most useful combination I've had in my career.

As Head of Operations at Dojo Coding, LATAM's developer learning and community platform, I designed the company's internal operating system: the processes, metrics and AI agents that hold up a bootstrapped startup running on a small team with a whole region to serve.
In parallel, I'm co-founder & COO of Blockchain Jungle, the tech summit I built from scratch in Costa Rica — three editions, 7,000+ attendees, a better-connected region.

My thesis: operations problems are almost never technical. They're human problems dressed up as docs, spreadsheets or "the workflow doesn't scale." Psychology taught me how to read them. AI gave me what to fix them with. That's what I do: design ops from psychology and AI, not from the management playbook.

I speak from the trenches, not from theory. If your event touches that, reach out.
