Summary

I'm from Argentina and I live in Barcelona, Spain. I work as a Country Manager & EU COO for Zenda, a Digital Marketing agency.

In early 2014, I started working at Frubis (Publicis Groupe), where I specialized in Digital Marketing and where I was able to improve my skills in the field exponentially. From 2017 to 2020, as a Team Leader Sr, I led the Sodimac Homecenter account (Grupo Falabella) where we helped the client to continue developing their eCommerce strategy in 5 Latin American countries. We focus all our knowledge and expertise on generating high-impact results, thus becoming our client's strategic partner.

Currently, at Zenda, I lead the business development and operations team. In addition, I am studying for a Master's in Digital Marketing & e Commerce at EAE Business School.

At Zenda, we lead digital projects by effectively implementing transformation strategies and processes to achieve measurable, achievable and relevant (SMART) goals for our clients' businesses.
