Federico Rivera H.
Chief Marketing & Growth Officer @ Lulubit
About
I'm a multi-hat marketing & growth leader who's spent the last 17 years scaling brands across LATAM, the US and Europe — from Fortune 500 enterprises to high-growth fintech and B2B SaaS.Today I'm Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Lulubit, a multi-product fintech bringing crypto, US virtual accounts, Mastercard issuance and yield investments to Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. I own the full marketing & growth P&L end-to-end, and we're driving 18%+ MoM growth in downloads and activations as we scale across three regulated markets.Before this, I led a $30M+ regional media portfolio at Procter & Gamble (Gillette, Venus, Braun) across 13 Hispanic LATAM countries, where I co-developed an internal AI-driven predictive media algorithm that today optimizes regional spend in real time. Before P&G, I architected ABM-led demand generation programs at TTEC for Fortune-class travel and hospitality enterprises (Hilton, Booking.com, Marriott), and earlier built Oracle LATAM's social-selling program from scratch — a methodology still in use today that lifted Social Selling Index by 70% across the entire seller organization.What I bring to a role:→ A C-Suite operator who is also genuinely hands-on. I can sit with a CEO on Monday to align on a go-to-market thesis and be in HubSpot on Tuesday rebuilding a nurture flow.→ Equally fluent in B2B (ABM, demand gen, pipeline acceleration, social selling) and Consumer (paid media, KOL, retail activation, growth loops, mobile growth).→ Deep cross-cultural fluency. I've lived and worked in Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Chile and Panama, and operate natively in English, Spanish and Portuguese with reading proficiency in three more. I know how to localize a US strategy for São Paulo, and I know how to translate a LATAM insight back into US enterprise language.→ A modern AI & automation stack as default, not bolt-on. Master's in Growth Hacking & Marketing Automation from IEBS Business School (Spain).→ Industries I've operated in deeply: Fintech, B2B SaaS, FMCG, EdTech, Enterprise Software, Finance, Media, PR & Comms.Currently based in Panama, open to relocation worldwide.Reach me at federivera@gmail.com or DM directly.
