About

Professional summary

I am a partnerships and business development professional with more than nine years of experience building commercial relationships from initial outreach through signed agreements and delivery. I have worked across brand, media, hospitality, multi-site residential, events, and experiential businesses.

I build and manage pipelines of restaurant, hotel, venue, talent, vendor, and enterprise partners through direct outreach, referrals, networking, evaluation, and disciplined follow-up. I am comfortable scoping opportunities, supporting negotiations, clarifying commercial terms, and ensuring every agreement has clear deliverables and ownership.

I bring strong commercial judgment to partnership decisions by reviewing cost models, unit economics, supplier estimates, performance data, and ROI. In prior roles, I improved qualified conversion by 25%, increased engagement by 40%, and reduced cross-functional turnaround time by 35%.

I have managed enterprise client relationships for organizations including BCG, Wells Fargo, DuPont, PMI, and Dell. I translate complex programs into practical terms for executive stakeholders, manage budgets and reporting, and coordinate cross-functional teams from engagement through post-program delivery.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish, based in New York City, and knowledgeable about the local market. I am also experienced with CRM, marketing automation, analytics, project management, and stakeholder communication tools.
