Mari
A Name Rooted in Connection In Costa Rica, "Mari" is the affectionate shorthand for Maria. For me, it is home. Short for Mariette, I am often called Mari by those I work with here in Costa Rica. I love that this name carries the warmth of the local culture and the personal connection I strive to build with every client.
Inspired by the Morpho, the "Mari" in MariMundo also honors the Mariposa (butterfly), specifically the Blue Morpho. At the heart of our identity, the Morpho symbolizes transformation, hope, and the magic that happens when you pause and pay attention.
One moment, the forest is a calm, steady green.
Next, a flash of brilliant blue reminds you that magic exists and that transformation often arrives exactly when you least expect it.
My Mission: Just like the Morpho, you, your business and your team have a hidden brilliance waiting for the right moment to take flight. I am here to help you find that "flash of blue" through the power of your natural strengths.
Mundo
From Mundial | World. The "Mundo" in our name represents my belief that the richest ideas come from exposure to different ways of thinking, working, and being.
As a Dutch woman who has spent my career navigating international corporate landscapes and communicating across four languages, I have seen firsthand how a wide lens changes everything.
I believe that stepping outside your usual borders, whether geographical or mental, is what makes you a better leader, a sharper entrepreneur, and a more empathetic human.
What "Mundo" brings to you:
-
Global Standards: Integrating international best practices with local authenticity.
-
Diverse Thinking: Breaking through "siloed" mindsets to find innovative solutions.
-
The Wide Lens: Helping individuals and teams see the bigger picture of their impact.
Based in Costa Rica, MariMundo brings that global perspective to every individual, every team, and every digital experience we build together.
