Creative AI Technologist & Fractional CMO.

I install brand strategy and architect AI creative stacks for teams that need to ship, not patch. Two decades of brand building — now rewired for a generative-first market.

Both run in parallel.
A / 01
Strategic Leadership

Fractional CMO — 90 days to install autonomy.

A 90-day program for scaling companies, founders, and CMOs who need strategic clarity and a team that runs without me at the end of it.

  • Brand positioning & narrative
  • KPI frameworks & marketing ops
  • Team coaching & hiring plan
  • Embedded leadership for 1 quarter

AI Creative Execution

Creative AI Tech Lead — architect the stack, ship the work.

For agencies, studios, and in-house creative teams. I design the AI workflow for your specific brief, train the team, and deliver production-grade generative work.

  • Generative video pipelines (Runway CPP access)
  • Workflow design & tool selection
  • Team training & prompt craft
  • Production delivery, not demos

[ AI Lab / 02 ]

A living archive
of generative experiments.

Work-in-progress by intent.
Ongoing · public

Not a showreel. The Lab is where I pressure-test tools, invent pipelines, and publish what I learn. If the craft is moving weekly, the archive should too.

// profile

I operate at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and AI.

Creative Strategist, Fractional CMO, and Creative AI Technologist based in Buenos Aires. Over two decades building brands — from founding an award-winning agency to scaling tech platforms.

My unfair advantage: I don't just talk about AI. As a Runway Creative Partner, I'm inside the feedback loop of the tools shaping this space. I bring that access into every engagement.

"A one-person band who thrives at the crossroads of creativity, technology, and hands-on execution."

I work with founders, CMOs, and creative leaders who need someone to think boldly AND ship relentlessly — without the overhead of an agency or the slowness of a full-time hire.
