I'm excited to announce that my new website is live at https://www.mirtamartin.com. Thank you to all who contributed your kinds words during the development process.


When we started the project we wanted to provide an authoritative source to present my ideas about leadership and the importance of change agents, and provide background about my history.

The website includes easy to use navigation, with dropdown menus for mobile and full desktop versions. I hope you find it easy to find what you are looking for when you visit, whether you are on a computer, tablet or mobile device.


The blog, which I will be adding to over the next several weeks, and other resources are available at a single click away. I have also published a gallery’s worth of images which I hope to expand upon further in future.

I hope you like my new site, and if you have any feedback please let me know on LinkedIN , Facebook or Twitter. Thank you. All the best!
