How I see growth

Ideas only matter when they move the business.

I've worked across brands, agencies, consulting and media. That perspective taught me that creativity, data, strategy and execution should never operate separately.

Growth happens when the entire system moves in the same direction.

Transform marketing

Connect marketing, data, technology and sales around measurable business value.

Experience across the table

Different sides of the table. One view of the whole business.

Experience across the ecosystem has shaped the way I solve problems: by understanding the interests, pressures and opportunities behind every decision.

Growth

Different perspectives. One objective: making growth happen.

Regional perspective

Built across markets. Connected by opportunity.

My career has been shaped by Colombia and Mexico—two markets with different rhythms, scales and ways of doing business.

That experience allows me to connect perspectives, relationships and opportunities across Latin America.

Creativity or data? It's the wrong question.

A conversation about curiosity, business, migration, resilience and why ideas without context rarely survive.

For founders & builders

Sometimes the right conversation changes the trajectory.

I enjoy working with founders who are building something real—helping them challenge assumptions, clarify their growth model and turn promising ideas into stronger businesses.

Depending on the opportunity, that can mean solving one critical decision, becoming an ongoing strategic advisor or getting more deeply involved in the project.

About

Curiosity is my operating system.

Colombian by origin. Based in Mexico City. Working across Latin America.

I'm fascinated by business, technology, human behavior and the people capable of turning ambitious ideas into reality.

Beyond work: food, design, sports, travel and cars.

I'm especially energized by founders who combine ambition with the willingness to question their first answer.
