About

Hola.
I’m the Chief Creative Officer at Herrera / Havas, leading the agency’s creative vision from Ecuador. I’m originally from Lima, and I continue to build my career within the Havas network, staying connected to the creative conversations happening across the region.

Before this, I worked in Madrid, an experience that expanded how I think, build, and lead ideas across different markets and cultures.

I’ve developed work for both local and global brands, guiding teams toward ideas that don’t just perform — they resonate and spark conversation. Along the way, some of this work has been recognized at Clio Awards, The One Show, Effie Latam Awards, Gerety, FIAP and other international and regional festivals.
