About

Digital and transformation strategist with over 15 years of experience leading marketing, data, eCommerce, and innovation in Latin America. I've worked with global brands, multicultural teams, and real business challenges. A father of two, Peruvian living in Bogotá, a gamer at heart, and convinced that AI doesn't replace people: it redefines leaders. I build teams, strategies, and futures where business, technology, and humanity truly connect. #eCommerce #Digital #DigitalMarketing #DigitalChannels #Performance #Transactional #Communications #DigitalStrategy #Strategy #IA
