Product Marketing Manager at BASF, shaping Latin American launches with market-specific positioning and value propositions.
What I'm looking for
At BASF, I worked on strategic product marketing and launches for the HF portfolio in Latin America, connecting global direction with local market needs. I developed positioning, differentiation, and value propositions for priority products.
I translated Go-to-Market strategies for Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and other regional markets, and helped create a centralized launch information base to make country-level adaptation more agile.
At Hubify - Marketing Digital de Performance, I led a Customer Success squad of more than 12 professionals. We reduced churn by more than 80% and increased the value managed by the squad by 20% through customer journey, upsell, and cross-sell strategies.
My work has also included market and consumer insights in Australia at koji, performance marketing at Camino.Marketing, and digital trade marketing at Acer do Brasil. I’m interested in Product Marketing Management opportunities involving Go-to-Market strategy, product positioning, launches, market intelligence, and collaboration between global and regional teams.
