Marketing operations and brand growth leader, delivering efficient brand campaigns globally.
MexicoWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Marketing Operations and Brand Growth leader with 12+ years across FMCG, tech, and pharma, where I build brand campaigns, manage agency ecosystems, and make marketing budgets work harder—without sacrificing brand quality. I’ve delivered measurable results in both global marketing machines and build-from-zero environments.
Recently, at DoorDash, I delivered $10M+ in marketing spend efficiency through RFP-led negotiations and agency consolidation, and led an end-to-end net-new Ads vertical RFP with 10%+ savings vs. benchmark. I’ve also driven brand growth at Medix (3% unit and 5% value market-share gains, plus a full 360° campaign and 2M+ influencer impressions at 75% lower cost), and strengthened sourcing and operating models at Walmart and AB InBev, including $9M+ in verified savings and major process improvements.
