What I'm looking for
I am a commercial and strategy leader with extensive B2B experience across hospitality, SaaS, and finance, leading market expansion in LATAM, the US, and multiple regions in Asia.

I focus on strategic thinking, data-driven decision making, and implementing automation to cut costs and raise profitability.
I mentor and coach teams to adopt digital transformation and customer-focused sales practices, having trained and led teams of 20 and launched marketing and partnership programs that improved online engagement and revenue substantially. I seek opportunities where I can combine commercial leadership, AI/tech adoption, and revenue growth to scale businesses internationally.
