Twenty years in finance, helping people and institutions decide better.

Who we are

Hi, I’m Paola Malda Arozarena.

I created Desarrolla Talento in 2020. I spent many years working inside financial institutions and teaching in classrooms, and in both places I saw the same thing: decisions about money and work turn out better when the information is clear, in your own language and grounded in your reality.

That’s why this platform does two things: we help institutions, companies and families organize their financial decisions, and we design programs so anyone can take the next step with their money, their work or their business.

What we’ve learned

Working alongside people and teams.

Nobody decides well when they’re afraid

Or when the words don’t make sense. Explaining things calmly and without jargon changes more than any formula.

Every reality is different

Someone returning from the United States doesn’t need the same thing as a board of directors. We start from each person’s experience and what they already know.

One concrete step goes further

A budget, a paperwork step, a clear policy: every session should leave you with something you can act on the next day.
