Intro

Every technology shift I've lived through — digital advertising, streaming, EdTech, now AI — asked the same question: what does this make possible, and who will build it? I've spent 20+ years answering it as an operator and a founder.

My story

I'm at my best when the challenge is still ambiguous, the team is still being built, and the playbook doesn't exist yet.

Media & the first digital wave

My career started in AdTech, where I learned how digital media, data and online advertising actually work. I then joined MSN Sales House / Microsoft as part of its first commercial team, opening 50+ advertiser accounts and helping scale the business across Latin America.

At FOX International Channels, now part of Disney, I led digital strategy for Spain and later worked alongside the VP of Digital Media Europe as the industry moved from traditional TV to digital and streaming — growing digital revenue twentyfold and training teams across Europe.

Entrepreneurship

In 2012 I founded Peeling Wave, a digital strategy agency that expanded across six Hispanic markets. We worked with multinational brands on digital growth and community building — including five years developing marketing strategy for Boehringer Ingelheim's consumer brands, growing them from almost no digital presence to communities of up to 500K followers.

Then came Olalang, an online language-learning platform I built around a lifelong passion for languages. It grew to 12+ languages and a network of more than 2,500 teachers — and taught me product, marketplaces and the complexity of scaling a digital service internationally.

AI

In 2022 I discovered DALL·E, and what started as visual experimentation became something deeper: automation with Make and n8n, then AI agents and apps built with OpenAI, Claude and ElevenLabs.

Today, as co-founder of DG42, I use the same mindset that guided every chapter before it: spot what's changing early, turn it into a product, and build the business around it.

Career timeline

Two decades.
One thread: change.

From corporate media leadership to entrepreneurship — each chapter built on the technology shift of its time.

Led digital initiatives for Spain and worked alongside European digital leadership as FOX moved from broadcast to digital and streaming. Grew digital revenue from ~$20K to ~$400K a month, built a team of five and trained ~20 people across Europe. Strategic consistency across markets is a business skill, not a creative one.

The first wave of digital advertising

Part of the founding commercial team as MSN expanded across Latin America. Opened 50+ accounts and built a team of six — translating an emerging digital product into something advertisers could understand, buy and scale. It shaped how I still work: commercial thinking, technology and market education.

Where commercial instinct was forged

Ad operations at one of Argentina's leading national publications, at the moment digital advertising was being invented — ad-serving technology, inventory, audiences and how to close. Before the industry had a name for it, I was at the intersection of media and commercial performance.

Each one started from the same instinct: something is changing, and there's a business to be built around it.

Approach

I don't write the code. I make sure it's worth building — and that the right people build it.

My strength is understanding technology well enough to see what it makes possible, translate it into a business opportunity and lead the people who can build it.

I've always worked between worlds: business and technology, marketing and sales, strategy and execution, corporations and startups.

I speak the language of founders, commercial leaders, marketers and technical teams — and I know how to align them around the same objective.

01

AI Product & Business Innovation

Identify where AI and automation genuinely improve products, sales, customer experience or operations — and turn them into practical initiatives. Through DG42, we also build them.

02

Go-to-Market Strategy

For companies launching a product, entering a market or rethinking growth: positioning, target customers, channels and commercial priorities.

03

Digital & Commercial Transformation

Growth rarely sits in one department. I work across product, marketing, sales and leadership so strategy turns into execution.

04

Founder & Leadership Advisory

Sometimes leaders don't need another agency. They need a senior partner who challenges assumptions and connects the dots.
