Marketing Director

Summary

Marketing and brand strategy leader with 18+ years of experience driving brand growth, audience engagement, and revenue across the media, entertainment, and consumer goods industries. I have led large-scale marketing strategies, brand launches, and high-impact activations with companies such as Caracol Television, The Coca-Cola Company, and 20th Century Fox.

I believe the most successful brands are those that truly understand people. For me, marketing goes beyond campaigns—it is about creating meaningful connections with audiences, empowering teams to challenge the status quo, and turning creativity into sustainable growth and long-term brand value.
