About Me — Go-to-Market Partner for Latam

As a Go-to-Market Partner for Latam with over 15 years of experience, I lead B2B demand generation and go-to-market strategy end to end: I set the campaign frameworks that guide execution, partner directly with product and sales leadership on positioning, and direct the development of sales-enablement assets alongside design and content teams.

Beyond strategy, I own the full marketing mix: I lead regional events and sponsorships, direct the sales-enablement content that helps close deals, and manage the internal teams and outside agencies responsible for delivery.
