About

I build and scale digital platforms across complex international markets, with over 15 years of leadership across Latin America. I have scaled consumer platforms to millions of users, built creator and partner ecosystems, managed P&Ls, led cross-functional teams (Product, Marketing, Content, Data, Ops & Comms), and delivered expansion roadmaps in highly complex and regulated environments. My work sits at the intersection of technology, culture, community and business, with deep experience in youth audiences, interactive content, streaming, online platforms and creator-driven ecosystems. I bring deep expertise in: • LATAM leadership & regional expansion • Digital platforms, streaming & consumer tech • Creator economy, communities & partnerships • Product strategy, growth, onboarding & engagement • Safety, governance, regulation & stakeholder management • Cross-functional leadership & operational execution • Data-driven decision-making & KPI architecture Educated at USP, LSE, INSEAD and Chevening (UK Government). I’m passionate about building digital ecosystems that empower creativity, strengthen communities and shape positive online experiences across Latin America.
