About Paola

I am a Marketing and Media Strategist, with over 12 years' experience in leading omnichannel campaigns and cross-market strategies across LATAM. I am an expert in digital media buying, audience insights, brand positioning, and e-commerce growth.

I have managed large-scale budgets and led cross-functional teams in driving end-to-end marketing and media projects for leading brands.
This experience is highly relevant in sectors such as e-commerce, technology, retail, and consumer packaged goods. I have developed full-funnel campaigns and built agency partnerships that have boosted ROAS. I thrive in fast-paced environments, combining creativity, analytical thinking and collaboration.
