I often like to tell people that I started stacking cans in a supermarket when I was 19 years old. Simultaneously, I studied filmmaking and created more than 30 short films in the early 1990s, an experience that proved beneficial in the corporate sector, where managing people, problems, and results is critical.With that combination, I began to carve out a career in brand development, working in all sectors of the industry, not just as a client in various sales and marketing roles, but also as a strategist in some of the most relevant Latin America advertising agenciesI've had the privilege of working with some of the world's most well-known companies, including American Express, Coca-Cola, Unilever, Toyota, Direct TV, IBM, SC Johnson, and Mondelez, to name a few.I was Director of Strategic Innovation at Ogilvy & Mather before joining Alex Pallete to create Picnic Buenos Aires. I had previously worked at Nike , where I was in charge of communication and spearheaded some of the company's most major initiatives for Southern Cone. I previously worked as the Head of Strategy at VegaOlmosPonce (now PonceBuenosAires), where I oversaw global and regional projects for a variety of brands.I had previously worked for Levi's as the Latin American Marketing Director. And before that, Renault Argentina's Brand Manager.In 2014, I was named one of Argentina's 50 most inventive persons (Apertura magazine), in part because of the creation of Ogilvy Finishers, the first startup program from a communication company in South America.I was a founding member of the Planning Association of Argentina, APG Argentina, and served as its president for some years, where I assisted in the development and dissemination of the discipline.
