About

"My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions." - Peter Drucker As a seasoned executive with 20+ years of senior leadership, I specialize in Sales and building B2B ecosystems, scaling global organizations, and delivering sustainable growth. Having worked across 70+ countries, I bring a proven ability to set a vision, inspire teams, and execute strategies that transform ambitious goals into measurable impact. My career spans leadership in sales, finance, e-commerce, services and cloud solutions, always underpinned by a disciplined focus on revenue growth, P&L management, EBITDA, and long-term value creation. At the core, I excel in forging strategic partnerships and developing interconnected business portfolios that fuel both regional leadership and international expansion. At VTEX, I currently serve as Head of Global Sales, where I’ve helped accelerate the platform’s rapid international expansion. My role includes driving global revenue strategy, sales enablement, operations, and solutions engineering, empowering enterprises to scale with our SaaS commerce platform for marketplace integration and order management. Beyond corporate leadership, I am an active board member and mentor, committed to developing high-performing teams and shaping future leaders. Fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and elementary Arabic, I thrive in cross-cultural environments and am passionate about leveraging innovation, collaboration, and talent development to deliver sustainable business impact. 👉 Let’s connect and explore opportunities to build and scale global businesses together.
