What I'm looking for
At Lite Fintech, I led strategy and execution for a Botpress web app and AI chatbot for cross-border payments from the U.S. and Canada to Latin America. I helped drive a 300% increase in user registrations and 23% growth in monthly transactions while launching remittance corridors in Colombia and Mexico.
Previously at Millicom (Tigo), I led the research, design, development, and launch of telecommunications digital products. I managed the company’s super app, contributing to $6 million in monthly revenue, 30% revenue growth, and 12% user-base growth.
I also led digital marketing and e-commerce at E&E S.R.L., exceeding the online sales goal by 50% in the first two months. My background includes risk analysis at Facebook via BCforward, where I supported marketplace and advertising policy enforcement, fraud prevention, platform improvements, and onboarding.
I bring product management, UX design, digital marketing, business analytics, and Agile delivery together to create user-centered products that exceed customer expectations.
