Senior commercial leader turning underperforming markets into regional benchmarks through full P&L revenue operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior commercial leader with 14+ years building and scaling revenue operations across LATAM, with full P&L ownership and multi-country scope. I consistently turn underperforming markets into regional benchmarks through disciplined, data-driven execution.
Most recently, I built the LATAM go-to-market architecture from scratch—defining target segments, designing the prospecting playbook, and owning the full sales cycle. I also led Channels & Alliances SDR execution and secured early deals beyond the company’s home market.
Previously, I led distribution and field sales across Caribbean, Andean, and Central America, delivering strong performance improvements through distributor transitions, standardized profitability frameworks, and regional commercial strategy across 8 countries. I also owned key accounts strategy, negotiation playbooks, and portfolio growth, including record all-time high revenue in the region.
Earlier in my career, I ran a Panama turnaround as Country Manager, recovering margins from 2.2% to 16.1% in a single year and setting regional benchmarks without incremental investment. I’m entrepreneurial by nature—most energized when building from scratch—with a strong analytical profile and a product-oriented mindset that keeps marketing, sales, operations, and finance aligned.
