about me

About me

My journey started 39 years ago. It is a story of how I managed to move to 4 foreign countries to make my dreams a reality. Growth marketing and innovation are more than a job to me; it is my passion.

I believe in building authentic, lasting relationships

My passion for online marketing sparked during my University internship at Bacardi Ltd. 10 years ago. I then worked at Google, Accenture, 3 different media agencies and B2C startups in Dublin, Barcelona and London. In 2020 I decided to set up my own freelancing business, which has led me to an exciting journey.

Working for top brands I comprehended the values of excellence and the culture of growth. I then realised we can do inspiring things in our life by pushing our boundaries, and by making daily actions able to change our future.

He demonstrated an outstanding ability to work creatively, both individually and collaboratively, through applying leading-edge design thinking tools and evaluation techniques. During the programme, he designed an experimentation platform that brings a fresh perspective to the work of growth marketers.
