Under the context of developing work in countries of the globalized world, Colombia is known for being a country that accepts international aid. The Colombian experience with this type of cooperation is to adopt and support projects, in the best cases, learn to sustain them independently. This inspires many young people who hope to contribute to the national development. However, it is unusual to find a Colombian far away from home carrying out development projects, even more exceptional, executing international cooperation work in Asia Pacific. In this regard, it is worth asking whether the profile Colombian profile allows working more smoothly or if, on the contrary, the Colombian cultural dimensions generate more than usual misunderstandings and difficulties. In order to provide a positive account, it is presented below the profile of Sofia Pinzón Millán as an example of successful intercultural relations and leadershipof Colombians in the field of development projects. Within the description of the profile of Sofia Pinzón, it will relate concepts related to intercultural communication, team work within international development and cooperation, and cultural dimensions. The exposure of this profile was conducted by interviewing Sofía Pinzón and in the context of the class of Development Cooperation and International Organizations of the Masters in Intercultural Communication and Cooperation in the Munich University of Applied Sciences (MUAS).
