About Us

Our Mission

To inspire leaders to fulfil the transformational potential of their company to become globally competitive and help them grow creating value through innovation and operational excellence.

Our Name

NOVA = NEW

AURUM = GOLD

We help companies create ‘new gold’ through our core beliefs, proven approaches, and passion

Our Journey

NOVAURUM was established in 2014 after founder Carlos Orozco became convinced that there is no reason why small and medium enterprises in Latin America and Europe could not be as, or more competitive, than their top competitors worldwide.

Carlos believes that at the heart of successful transformations are inspired leaders who follow a disciplined and systemic approach to the transformation journey and are committed to implementing best-in-class practices and state-of-the-art technologies across their operations.

He is passionate about helping leaders develop their full potential, and uses his strong technical background, broad international business experience, and the knowledge of the local culture and language to help Latin American and European companies thrive in any environment.
