About me

In one line to impress the masses:

Award Winning Argentine/Canadian Creative Director with more that 19 years of experience doing what he loves.

In several lines to delight the masses:

My career path has been unique as I’ve been in highly creative roles that have also needed very strong managerial skills to drive business results, not just creative ones. I’ve led world class creative teams at Ogilvy & Mather and DDB Tribal, built from scratch a fully integrated in-house agency at draftLine (AB-InBev), led the brand campaigns and creative team at a tech company, and currently I’m the leading change at a Global PR agency, taking the creative from PR tactics to billion-impression earning campaigns.

My 19+ years of experience in the creative industry isn’t just varied in the type of work I do, it’s varied in who the work is made for. I’ve worked in three different countries and the work itself has been awarded at Cannes, Clio, One Show and Effies among others. Thanks to my professional accolades, I’ve been invited to be a mentor and teacher at the most prestigious creative programs in the world, such as D&AD New Blood Academy, Professor at Miami Ad School & Instructor at One Creator Lab (The One Club for Creativity). And I’ve had the honor of being part of the Jury at world renowned creative shows such as One Show, Webby Awards, New York Festival, Effie North America, Canadian Marketing Association Award (CMA), and more.
