About Javier

I don't consult from PowerPoints.


I've spent 25 years inside the machine — building commercial operations from scratch, managing distributors in markets where nothing works as expected, and turning fragmented businesses into structured growth engines.
At Allurion, I scaled international revenue from $3M to $60M across 70+ markets. At Establishment Labs, I doubled the account base in 12 months and delivered +116% sell-out growth. Before that, 21 years at Galderma — from Finance Manager in Buenos Aires to Regional Controller in Lausanne to General Manager leading 100+ people across the Southern Cone.
I operate in MedTech, Medical Aesthetics, and regulated healthcare. I know how distributors think, how KOLs decide, and how to build a commercial team that doesn't fall apart when the founder steps back.
As a fractional executive, I bring VP-level commercial leadership without the full-time overhead — ideal for scale-ups entering new markets, manufacturers building their international structure, or companies that need a senior hand to professionalize what they've already started.
I work in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. I've launched products in markets where the path didn't exist yet.
