About

I've spent 10+ years building brands that people feel, not just see. From the brand floor of adidas during the 2014 World Cup, to crafting brand experiences for Pandora across Brazil and LATAM through PR, influencer, and events, to designing luxury brand experiences at Montblanc, I've always been drawn to the place where strategy meets real human connection. My work sits at the intersection of brand, go-to-market, and partnerships. I've built integrated campaigns from scratch, shaped earned media narratives, managed complex multi-stakeholder ecosystems, and led cross-functional teams across matrixed organizations, all while staying obsessed with the story the brand is telling and why it matters. I'm now intentionally choosing what comes next. After years inside global corporations, I'm looking for work with real stakes, brands being built, markets being entered, stories that need telling. I'm drawn to founders who care about meaning, global brands entering or scaling in LATAM, and projects where marketing acts as a growth driver, not a support function. Based in São Paulo. Italian & Brazilian citizenship. Open to wherever the right work is. If you're building something that matters, let's talk.
