Summary
Ex-founder and product leader with 15+ years building digital products and scaling businesses.
I focus on the intersection of Product-Led Growth, Go-To-Market strategy, and revenue. With a strong foundation in AI integration, UX/UI, and system logic, I speak the native language of developers and designers, eliminating silos and reducing delivery friction. I founded and scaled a digital agency to acquisition, directed global marketing at an AI consultancy, and shipped enterprise platforms for brands like Mercado Libre and Geely — the kind of ownership that ships high-impact products rather than just managing a backlog.
