What I bring

Enterprise scale and startup speed

Paid media at scale

Six years at Grupo Coppel, Mexico's largest retailer, running national and international campaigns on Meta, Google and YouTube, with budgets that grew 3X under my watch.

Growth on lean budgets

As an agency co-founder, I build profitable campaigns for restaurants, schools and eCommerce brands, starting from under $2,000 MXN in ad spend.

Full-funnel leadership

I've built eCommerce channels from zero and led hybrid teams across creative, content, paid media, CRM and agencies, with clear CAC, LTV and ROAS targets.
