He works with leaders who believe in the transformative power of collaboration. His intention is that the changes clients make when we work together come not only from building additional skills but also from growing into a whole new way of being and seeing themselves at work.

He is well known for his expertise in organization and relationship systems coaching. Fernando’s experience includes Lopez being president of Bridgespace Consulting Inc., an executive coaching firm specializing in helping clients create the space for powerful collaboration. He coaches (in English or Spanish) clients in global humanitarian organizations and Fortune 500 companies. 

Fernando’s mission is finding often-surprising solutions to leadership and team challenges. He is a faculty member of CRR Global and the Coaches Training Institute, an industry leader that has trained over 55,000 coaches worldwide. Motivated by discovering innovative coaching approaches and sharing them with others, he has presented his work at international conferences in North America, Europe, and New Zealand.  

As a collaborative, calm, and profound listener, he has always had ease in understanding the requirements of multiple stakeholders and building trust between groups. Before specializing in coaching and facilitation, he was at Medsite Inc. (now part of WebMD) where he bridged technology and business teams.
