Serving Founders Across US · EU · LATAM — Based in Barcelona

Senior marketing direction, without the full-time overhead.

I embed as your Fractional Marketing Director — architecting full-funnel acquisition strategy, closing the product UX gaps quietly taxing your conversion rate, and automating operations with AI. 20+ years of executive decision-making, applied at founder speed.

No retainer required for the first call. Straight talk on fit — in 30 minutes.

The Case for Fractional

The full-time CMO is a $200K bet. The agency is a slow one.

Growth-stage teams are stuck choosing between two expensive, imperfect options. There's a third path — and it's built for exactly this stage.

Option 1

Full-Time CMO

$200K+/yr
  • 3–6 month hiring cycle before they even start
  • Fixed overhead — salary, equity, benefits, severance risk
  • One perspective, locked in regardless of what the stage needs next
Option 2

Execution Agency

Slow & Generic
  • Junior hands on your account, senior talk in the pitch
  • Templated playbooks, not built for your funnel or your market
  • No one accountable for the business outcome — just the deliverable
The Fractional Path Option 3

Fractional Executive Direction

Lean & Senior
  • Senior-level decisions from week one — no ramp-up tax
  • Embedded in your team, not outsourced to a black box
  • AI-accelerated execution cuts the hours a full team would need
Core Services

Four pillars. One person accountable for all of them.

Strategy, systems, creative firepower, and the product experience that either converts your traffic or leaks it. Most fractional hires give you one. You get all four, connected.

02

Product UX & QA Audits

Finding exactly where users drop off — and fixing it before you spend another dollar on acquisition.

  • Onboarding funnel & conversion audits
  • Friction mapping across the full user journey
  • Structured product/QA testing for tech & AI apps
  • An actionable fix roadmap, not just a findings deck
03

AI Systems & Workflow Automation

Marketing ops rebuilt around AI so your team spends hours on strategy, not spreadsheets.

  • Marketing ops automation — reporting, campaign QA, content pipelines
  • Automated onboarding & lifecycle flows
  • Cutting manual hours across the team
  • AI tooling stack design & rollout
04

Advertising Agency & Creative

Embedded creative firepower — direction, teams, and production — without adding another agency retainer.

  • Campaign concepting & creative direction
  • Creative team sourcing & leadership — design, copy, video, motion
  • Multi-channel ad production & asset systems
  • Brand consistency across every touchpoint

About

20+ years bridging enterprise scale and AI-native execution.

I've spent my career on both sides of the marketing table: building acquisition machines inside global enterprises, and now bringing that same executive rigor to founders who move at a fraction of the speed — and need a fraction of the overhead.

As Regional Digital Marketing Manager for Cinemark LatAm, I owned acquisition and growth across one of the region's largest consumer brands. Earlier, I sharpened strategic and creative judgment inside Ogilvy, Leo Burnett, and Clarín — some of the most demanding rooms in the industry.

Today I work from Barcelona with growth-stage tech founders, SaaS teams, e-commerce scale-ups, and agencies across the US, Europe, and LATAM — bringing senior direction and modern AI workflows to teams that can't wait six months for a hire to ramp up.

How We Work Together

Three ways to bring senior marketing direction in-house.

Pick the model that matches where you are — from a flat-rate audit to an ongoing embedded retainer.

Model A

Fractional Director Retainer

10–15 hrs/week · Monthly retainer

I embed directly in your team as acting Marketing Director — owning strategy, roadmap, and execution oversight on an ongoing basis.

Best for: Series A–C teams that need senior direction without the FTE cost.
Model B

Strategic AI & Growth Audit

2–3 weeks · Flat-rate

A full-funnel and AI-opportunity audit of your acquisition, onboarding, and marketing ops — delivered as a prioritized roadmap you can act on immediately.

Best for: Teams who want clarity before committing to a retainer.
Model C

Executive Advisory & Mentorship

Ongoing · Monthly cadence

Board-level marketing guidance and founder mentorship — a senior second opinion on the calls that are hard to make alone.

Best for: Founders who need a senior sounding board, not another hire.
