@marcelaelizondoperea
I build luxury real estate and hospitality brands, launches, and commercial strategies that drive market absorption.
What I'm looking for
I've built brand, commercial, and launch platforms for luxury real estate and hospitality-adjacent developments for more than 20 years. My work connects market insight, product definition, pricing, premium storytelling, and sales tools.
At ALORA Desarrollos, I lead commercial and marketing strategy for mixed-use, residential, luxury, and branded-residence projects, including the Kimpton Obispado/RISE ecosystem. I translate market studies and customer insight into buyer personas, differentiated value propositions, campaign architecture, broker strategy, and executive reporting.
Through Lyvia Group, I design commercial and brand strategies for residential, industrial, commercial, and tourism real estate projects. I've structured marketing and sales operations, CRM stages, dashboards, KPIs, launch plans, and multichannel campaigns to improve positioning, qualified lead generation, and profitability.
Previously, I led sales and strategy at Pegaso Holding Group/Develex International and strategic planning for 11 projects at Proyectos 9. I also developed commercial and marketing strategies, launches, and national rollouts for high-impact developments at Metrópolis.
