About

I'm a communications and content leader with over 15 years of experience driving regional growth and storytelling across Latin America. Born in Argentina and fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, I’ve built my career at the crossroads of media, technology, and culture, leading editorial teams and scaling operations in complex, multilingual markets. I’ve worked with global companies like Business Insider, BuzzFeed, and MySpace, managing cross-functional teams, developing regional strategies, and delivering impactful content to diverse audiences. Throughout my career, I’ve thrived in fast-paced, evolving environments by combining strategic vision with hands-on execution. At BuzzFeed, I played a key role in launching and expanding the brand’s presence across Latin America, overseeing teams in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and beyond. I led talent development, partnership growth, and localized content creation, fostering strong collaboration between global and regional stakeholders. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of market dynamics, cultural nuances, and the power of community-driven engagement. More recently, I’ve taken on leadership roles at Business Insider, directing editorial strategy for high-traffic verticals and managing freelancers worldwide. I also consult for brands like Netflix and Sundance, advising on content adaptation and communications strategies tailored to Latin American audiences. Currently based in the US but always planning for a new adventure, I’m passionate about language, communication, technology, and storytelling, and committed to building inclusive, innovative teams that thrive in dynamic global markets.
