Most executives have the experience to be industry voices. What they're missing is the system to get there. I build that system. I'm a strategic communications consultant specializing in executive thought leadership, LinkedIn strategy, and corporate reputation. For the past 8 years I've worked with C-suite leaders, multinational companies, and industry organizations across Latin America, the U.S., and Europe, helping them turn complex ideas into clear positioning, credible authority, and measurable visibility. My work is especially valuable in high-stakes moments: expansions, leadership transitions, alliance announcements, sustainability narratives, and reputation-sensitive environments where generic messaging is dangerous. What I do ✓ Executive thought leadership & LinkedIn strategy ✓ LinkedIn profile optimization & content systems for leaders ✓ Corporate and brand positioning ✓ Reputation & crisis communication ✓ Strategic content: speeches, op-eds, CEO communications, messaging frameworks ✓ Market research, competitive analysis & social listening ✓ Communication strategy for expansions, alliances & organizational change You'll find my work especially valuable if you are: → An executive looking to build a credible LinkedIn presence that generates real business opportunities → A company navigating expansion, a strategic alliance, or a leadership transition → A brand managing reputational pressure in a regulated or sensitive industry → A communications team that needs research and strategy Results I've delivered I measure my work by outcomes, not outputs: ✔ Led end-to-end communication strategy for the Grupo Piñero–Hyatt alliance announcement coordinating across legal, PR, and corporate affairs teams. Coverage was 100% favorable across Spanish financial media including Forbes España and Expansión ✔ Built LinkedIn ecosystems for C-suite executives at Progreso (Guatemala) and BTG Pactual Colombia, driving 35–60% annual community growth and 5,000–10,000 newsletter subscribers per executive within the first year ✔ Led a sustainability communication campaign that improved brand sentiment by 93% in one month, measured through Social Net Promoter Score ✔ Designed the digital content strategy for Noticias Caracol, positioning it as the leading outlet in video views and engagement during Colombia's 2023 regional elections ✔ Coordinated executive advocacy programs with 150+ employees for Banco Atlántida (Honduras) How I work 1. Positioning audit Where do you stand, where do you need to be, and what's actually blocking you 2. Communication system Tone of voice, core messages, storytelling pillars, content cadence, and channel strategy 3. Execution Strategic content production, performance tracking, and continuous refinement 4. Visibility with purpose Thought leadership that really sounds like you Industries I know well Finance · Energy & Sustainability · Mining & Natural Resources · Construction · Media · Tourism · Family Enterprises · Agribusiness Tools Brandwatch · SentiOne · Google Analytics · LinkedIn Campaign Manager · HubSpot · Canva · Notion · GoHighLevel If you need a strategist who treats communication as a business function, I'd like to hear about your project.

Since 2020, I’ve arranged over 200 earned media placements in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe (including two front page stories), the New York Post, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, INSIDER, CNN, MSNBC, New York Magazine, Slate, A/V Club, NBC Nightly News, Fast Company, and dozens of other top-tier publications and outlets.
