Summary

With more than 13 years of experience and 6 markets, I have always been committed to ensuring that the brands I have worked with gain cultural relevance in their markets. Always betting on creative excellence, I've won more than 50 international awards worldwide.

I drive myself with passion and hard work but with the empathy to bring out the best in each team member I work with. I teach at MiamiAdSchool in Buenos Aires, Mexico and Punta Cana.

A Latin vision of the world with fresh insights and findings can foster a culture of creative excellence in each project.
