What I'm looking for

I’m looking for regional or global opportunities where I can drive strategy and market intelligence, translate insights into executive decisions, and execute market expansion with measurable growth across LATAM.

I’m a Regional Strategy & Market Expansion Leader with 18+ years of experience at IDC, focused on helping global technology companies understand, enter, and win the Latin American market. I’ve led regional strategy and market intelligence initiatives across 12+ countries, partnering directly with companies such as Samsung, HP, Lenovo, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Google.

One of my key achievements was building the Emerging Markets division— a regional business unit for Central America and the Caribbean—generating $1M+ in revenue and sustained growth over 5+ years. I translate complex market intelligence into executive-level recommendations, shaping go-to-market, investment, and growth decisions for C-level leaders, while also leading multi-country teams of analysts and managers.

I specialize in market expansion strategies across LATAM, data-driven decision making, and forecasting models supported by business intelligence frameworks. I’m open to regional and global opportunities in strategy, market intelligence, and business expansion.
