Fractional Growth Lead for SaaS and startups. 15+ years turning content and SEO into pipeline, not vanity metrics.
Most founders don't need another freelancer running isolated tasks. They need someone who owns the growth function end to end. That's the role I step into.
What I run as your fractional lead:
✅ Content-led SEO: an editorial engine that ranks and converts, built on keyword data.
✅ Go-to-market: positioning, messaging, and the first 90 days of demand.
✅ Sales and marketing alignment: CRM and automation (Pipedrive, Mautic, Snov) wired to the funnel.
✅ Reporting: the analytics that show what's working, so budget follows results.
Proof:
- 100% Job Success and Top Rated on Upwork. 15+ years across SaaS, fintech, and professional services.
- Clients: Skiplagged, SaaSholic, DBM Sistemas, Investidores, Airfree.
- Built and ran SaaSholic's newsletter for 2,500+ founders and grew it into the US market.
- Creator of the Growth Diaries podcast (40+ episodes) and a 2,500-subscriber YouTube channel.
What clients say:
"Highly skilled and reliable, with excellent communication and a strong work ethic. Great value for companies looking for localization in Brazil." Augusto S., Business Developer at Skiplagged
"Consistently brings new ideas and ways to add value. Helpful, attentive, delivers results." Guilherme D., Operations Manager at DBM Sistemas
The real deal is this: I take on select projects to go deep, not wide. If you want a growth partner who owns SEO and content like an in-house lead, send the invite and let's map your first 90 days.

Experienced across SMBs, VC-backed startups, and enterprise firms - having worked with teams across the Americas and Europe. I stay sharp with tech: every tool, every platform that makes execution faster or smarter, I learn it and use it. Whether it’s content, outreach, or growth, I move things forward.
Here’s how I can help you:
- Go-to-Market:
I design and deploy GTM systems - connecting HubSpot, Apollo, Clay, Airtable, Notion, n8n, Zapier, or whatever stack you use - into automated flows for outreach, CRM sync, and pipeline tracking. I handle the logic, copy, and data layers so you can test offers, positioning, and channels without manual friction.
- Social Media & Content:
I use AI-powered tools like Higgsfield, Runway, Claude, and ChatGPT to automate production - idea generation, copy variation, scheduling, and visuals - so I can focus where humans still matter: creative direction, narrative, and voice. The result is consistent, fast, and on-brand content without the content-farm feel.
- Growth Systems:
I build data-driven growth engines that combine automation, Ads, lead-based messaging adaptation, and tracking loops. Whether it’s outbound, partnerships, or organic traction, I set up the stack to learn, adapt, and scale - so you grow with less noise and more signal.
But above it all - I play with no ego. I’m highly coachable, a walking feedback loop, a sponge. I learn fast, I iterate, and I execute.
You’ve read this far - means something in here clicked.
Don’t overthink it. Message me!

My greatest professional quality is to be versatile. I am a specialist in Digital Marketing and a tech-savvy. I’m an easy learner and an independent problem solver. So, I end up gathering skills from different areas. I consider myself someone extremely creative, but I'm also good with numbers, spreadsheets and software.
To prove it with data, I took a webmaster course and made college of Theater Direction. I have a degree in Journalism and I already played a financial role on a previous job. I've done ballet and soccer. Furthermore, I am very dedicated and proactive.
I know that the above speech may seem presumptuous or that I can’t focus. But the truth is, I am interested in all these things, except ballet - my mother forced me. 😉

• Sales Pipeline & Revenue Ops
• Funnel build: lead → qualification → proposal → close → expansion
