I scaled Betano’s new app from zero to 4M downloads in six months, reaching around 700K daily active users while reducing Paid Social CPA by approximately 45%.
Previously at TikTok, I drove measurement strategy for advertising clients, increasing measurement product adoption by 70% and advertiser investment by 45%. I also helped sales teams maximize advertiser ROI and represented TikTok on incrementality, MMM, attribution, and mobile analytics.
I’ve led growth, martech, media, and analytics teams at BTG Pactual, Itaú Unibanco, Wunderman, Publicis Groupe, TBWA, DDB, and Porto Seguro, connecting creative, media, and analytics around clear, data-driven decisions.
