What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in marketing or communications to lead digital and 360º campaigns, grow teams, drive client success, and work in an international, collaborative culture using data to optimize performance.

I am a creative, outgoing marketing and communications professional with an MBA in Marketing and extensive agency and platform experience across Europe and the US. I have led and coordinated teams of 20 account executives and creatives, developed 360º communication strategies, and driven new-business prospecting and client management on high-impact projects.

I build and execute digital campaigns—paid media, social and analytics—and produce content, copy and websites for clients from SMEs to large portfolios. I am fluent in English and Spanish, experienced with Facebook Ads Manager, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Hootsuite, Brandwatch and Salesforce, and I combine international travel and hospitality insight with a data-informed, collaborative approach.
