Marketeer / Industrial Engineer

Summary

An industrial engineer who felt in love with marketing along the way

A fanatic of the creative process and a true supporter of the power that brands have to get people together, a believer of user experience and passionate of the share of attention (entertain instead of interrupt).

I believe my strength is to make things happen by turning ideas into reality.
