Since stepping into my role as Director for Gaming, Media & Entertainment, and Sports across Europe at Globant, I've been at the helm of spearheading business development for these crucial studios. My journey has been characterized by:- Orchestrating a strategic growth plan to elevate our business, achieving over USD 30M+ in overall business by supporting regional Managing Directors and Client Partners in aligning with our ambitious business objectives.- Identifying and converting cutting-edge business opportunities within the Gaming, Media, Entertainment, and Sports domains, leveraging Globant’s proprietary AI tools and our extensive global talent pool to meet the demands of ambitious game development projects.- Establishing thought leadership within these industries across the region, fostering innovation that transcends traditional boundaries and drawing on my 15+ years of experience to guide our specialized services towards new horizons in interactive entertainment.

In my tenure as Managing Director for Globant in France, I have been instrumental in sculpting the company's footprint, growing it from a nascent stage to a robust 20M€ business by:- Strategically defining Globant's business fit within the French market and executing a growth strategy that positioned us as a leader in digital strategy consulting services, especially in the Gaming and Healthcare industries.- Securing our first multi-million euro deals with tier-1 clients by harnessing my deep understanding of the gaming industry and interactive media, crafting unique proposals, and leading negotiations to successful closings.- Building and leading a dynamic business development team, fostering a culture of innovation and design thinking that has been central to our success.- Overseeing the establishment of our French office at Station F, implementing local company policies with global support, and actively participating in strategic acquisitions, such as the pivotal acquisition of Pentalog in July 2023.- My role has been akin to that of an intrapreneur CEO within a rapidly expanding company, driving forward with a vision to reinvent and lead in the digital age. #SeekReinvention #Digital #Technology #Innovation #Design
