Profile / Work Experience
Proud father and lifelong Knicks fan, for reasons I still can't explain., currently leading the creative department at Ogilvy Miami.
With over 15 years of experience in the advertising industry, l've collaborated with top creatives and built teams that consistently deliver standout work. I served as Regional Executive Creative Director for KFC LATAM and have led campaigns for major brands targeting the U.S. Hispanic market, including AT&T, Progressive, Miller Lite, McDonald's, Pepsi, and more.
My journey spans:
TCH (Argentina) - Young & Rubicam / VML (Colombia) - Saatchi & Saatchi (Puerto
Rico) - Alma DDB (USA) - Dieste (USA) - Ogilvy (USA).
A career highlight: I became the first Colombian copywriter to win a Gold Lion in the Print category at Cannes. My work has also been recognized by international festivals including Clio, LIA, D&AD, The One Show, and New York Festivals.
Always looking for bold brands and brave teams ready to create work that moves people, solves real business problems, and makes a difference.
