Building the function behind growth.

As startups grow, priorities shift and initiatives multiply. The challenge is to give marketing, growth and go-to-market a shared direction, with teams and systems that can carry it through.

I build and lead these connected functions, combining strategy, leadership and execution. That means setting priorities, aligning people and staying close to the work, from positioning and acquisition to market expansion.

The aim is a function that learns as it operates: customer insight informs decisions, experiments sharpen the approach, and teams turn that learning into action.

Built across markets. Shaped by different perspectives.

From the United States to Latin America and Europe, my career has been shaped by working across markets, cultures and stages of growth.

Based in Lisbon, with experience spanning France, Spain, Portugal, the US and Latin America, including work from Mexico across the region.

That international perspective informs how I approach positioning, growth opportunities, market entry and go-to-market execution.

Three disciplines.
One connected approach.

Marketing

Make the value clear. Positioning, product marketing and storytelling give Growth a sharper proposition to test and Go-to-Market a consistent story to take into each market.

Growth

Turn response into learning. Acquisition, conversion and lifecycle experiments reveal what resonates, feeding evidence back into positioning and market decisions.

Go-to-Market

Bring the approach to market. Market intelligence, distribution and commercial alignment connect the proposition to execution, while market feedback shapes the next round of marketing and growth decisions.

Founding CMO & Growth

Building and leading the marketing, growth and go-to-market function for an early-stage technology company.

From positioning and product storytelling to acquisition, growth experimentation and GTM execution, the work spans strategy, operations and the systems connecting them.

With an AI-native approach to how the function is designed, operated and continuously improved. The practical questions this work raises also inform the research I explore independently through AiREA.

AiREA: Rethinking marketing. One system at a time.

AiREA is my independent AI-native marketing research and experimentation lab, informed by the realities of building and leading startup functions.

It gives me a space to investigate questions beyond day-to-day delivery: how AI can connect knowledge, workflows and decisions across marketing, growth and go-to-market.

Operational experience grounds the research. Research, experiments and working prototypes create room to question assumptions and explore new ways of working.

Connecting people & ecosystems.

Communities have always been part of my journey: places to share ideas, contribute and build lasting connections.

Previously involved in Girlz in Web, La Cuisine du Web and RGeneration.

A life in motion.

Sport is a big part of who I am. It’s where I channel my intensity, build endurance and find balance alongside everything I’m building professionally.

After a decade of fencing, travel reshaped the way I train. Today, CrossFit is a constant, with regular competitions. I also ride horses, play beach volleyball and tennis, and have a solid grounding in kitesurfing. In winter, I love heading to the French Alps to ski.

I’ve spent plenty of time trekking and climbing mountains, too. My latest summit took me to 4,634 metres in Mexico.
