About

Professional summary

I am a senior product leader with more than nine years of product management experience and over 15 years building digital products across Latin America. I specialize in consumer growth, payments, pricing, checkout, conversion funnels, and launching products from 0 to 1.

I have led product initiatives at Rappi, Mercado Pago/Mercado Libre, and Despegar, working across Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and other LATAM markets. I understand how local payment methods, regulations, user behavior, and marketplace dynamics affect product adoption and conversion.

At Rappi, I lead product strategy for consumer transactions, including delivery options, pricing, checkout, payment, and confirmation. I use experimentation, elasticity analysis, and behavioral segmentation to improve affordability, conversion, and unit economics across markets.

I have built and scaled platform products, merchant integrations, API ecosystems, white-label B2B2C solutions, and regulated financial-services experiences. My work has included scaling Mercado Pago QR payments, increasing integrated merchant order share, and growing Despegar's B2B contribution into a major revenue line.

I am also an AI-native builder and active investor. I create AI agents, workflow automations, evaluation frameworks, technical-analysis tooling, and investment-research workflows using modern AI development tools.

I enjoy leading cross-functional and distributed teams across business, product, engineering, design, data, operations, and commercial functions. I also teach product management, growth, monetization, pricing, and data-driven product strategy.
