@lidiarubi
I turn consumer insights, AI, and omnichannel strategy into profitable commercial growth.
What I'm looking for
I've driven profitable growth at KIO Networks, Grupo Lala, Unilever, and Danone by turning consumer, shopper, and commercial data into decisions. At KIO Networks, I built a CLV segmentation model for 60,000+ customers that increased AOV by 45% and generated approximately $2.6M in incremental annualized revenue.
I lead marketing, business intelligence, innovation, and omnichannel go-to-market initiatives across Mexico and Latin America. My work includes launching IaaS and PaaS offerings, redesigning retail planograms to lift sales 22%, reducing R&D spend 18%, and guiding cross-functional teams and multimillion-dollar budgets.
