Finance Account Director @ Datadog

About

Across more than 15 years in enterprise technology — from global innovators like IBM, Oracle, and SAP to high-growth SaaS scale-ups — I’ve built a career at the intersection of business strategy, data, and technology. Today at Datadog, I partner with leading financial institutions in Latin America to help them achieve full visibility, reliability, and operational resilience in their multicloud environments. My focus is on connecting observability, AI, and business outcomes — enabling organizations to make faster, smarter, and more secure decisions. Before Datadog, I led Simetrik’s go-to-market strategy across the region, empowering CFOs, acquirers, and issuers to gain control of complex financial operations and transaction flows. That experience deeply shaped how I approach enterprise sales: as a strategic advisor. I specialize in executive-level, value-based conversations, using frameworks like MEDDICC and Command of the Message to uncover the real business impact of technology. My passion lies in building long-term partnerships, mentoring high-performing teams, and driving digital transformation in industries like Banking, Fintech, Retail, and Insurance. I believe strong relationships, industry insight, and thoughtful leadership are the foundation of any lasting success—and I’m committed to building my personal brand around those values.
