What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.

I am a seasoned professional in copyright management and fintech, with extensive experience in the music administration landscape. My fluency in both Spanish and English allows me to lead diverse international teams effectively. I leverage advanced technology in rights management to enhance operational efficiency and drive impactful solutions.

During my tenure as a Product Manager at Utopia Music AG, I developed a strategic vision for a global compositional royalty calculator and contributed to creating a Proof of Concept for radio royalty calculations. My efforts in connecting multiple business units streamlined processes related to copyright registration and claiming, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.

I am motivated by continuous learning and am committed to contributing to the growth and mission of organizations. My strong analytical skills and ability to build relationships across diverse stakeholders have been key to my success in driving product innovation and market adaptation.
