I find what's actually blocking your growth — and build the strategy to fix it.

About

Marketing leader.
Business problem-solver.

I'm a fractional CMO and marketing strategist based in Panama, working with companies across Latin America. I step into organisations that are investing in marketing but not seeing the growth they expect — and I find out why.

Most of the time, the problem isn't the campaigns. It's a positioning gap, a funnel leak, or a strategy built for a different stage. I diagnose first, then build the strategy and lead the team to fix it.

My background is unusual: I have an MBA, an Industrial Engineering degree, and I've spent time as a music journalist, a university professor, an agency builder, and a consultant. That breadth is a feature — I get up to speed fast in new industries and see things that pure-marketing eyes miss.

Fluent in English, French, and Spanish.

What I do

Where I add value.

01
Business Diagnosis & Strategy
Before strategy comes clarity. I audit your marketing function, map where the real friction is, and build a roadmap you can actually execute.
02
Go-to-Market & Launch
Entering a new market, launching a product, or scaling after PMF? I develop the strategy, messaging, and channel mix — and stay through execution.
03
Brand & Positioning
If you're competing on price, your positioning is probably the problem. I find the frame that makes you the obvious choice for the right audience.
04
Growth & Demand Generation
SEO, paid media (Google, Meta, LinkedIn), inbound, email — I design the full engine and optimise it with your data.
05
Team Building & Coaching
I've built marketing departments from scratch. I hand off something that runs without me. That's always the point.
06
Marketing Training
25+ workshops, 2,000+ professionals trained. For teams that need to understand strategy, not just execute tasks.

Blog

Thinking out loud about
marketing and growth.

I write about what I learn working with companies across LATAM — strategy, hard decisions, and what nobody tells you about growing a business. In Spanish.
