Big Data Developer & Digital Marketing Strategy

Summary

I like to describe myself as a human centered person, as well as a creative problem solver. What I mean by this is that when I embrace a project (personal or professional), I do my best to use my ability to create trusting relationships and a true sense of connection between individuals.

Over the past 20 years, my experience in the corporate world has taught me that, self-improvement and self-knowledge, are key to implement any sort of long and/or short planning. As such, I feel particularly well-equipped in dealing with HR and Communication areas.

Regarding how I am, personally. My usual days are split into 6 blocks. These routines are devoted to learning, working, as well as dedicating considerable chunks to self & health care. These include taking great care of my social, emotional, physical and spiritual sides. All these moments must be present in each day of my week. I find this balance crucial for a healthy, long and balanced journey.

I am consistently hungry and curious about current trends, tech, innovation, emerging markets and best practices. Recently, I’ve dedicated considerable time into reinforcing my knowledge on digital and neuromarketing.

All in all, I consider myself a results-oriented and a versatile business leader, with a robust, ever-evolving background and proven track record in both strategic planning and team development.
