I am an accomplished mass-marketing professional with extensive experience in brand management across food and home care product categories. I began my career following 5 successful years studying Government and International Relations at Universidad Externado de Colombia, where I exercised my passions for entrepreneurship and programming by creating an online platform for managing University courses.

I first experienced Unilever when I joined the Unilever Future Leaders Programme (Middle Americas) in 2011, immediately contributing to a plan that brought a 10% sales increase through one of our distributors. From this platform I secured a role as Unilever’s Assistant Brand Manager for Detergents in Colombia, and soon worked on the re-launch of the Lavomatic brand. I then spent a year working as a Route To Market Project Leader, shaping channel and pricing strategy as well as enhancing distributor capabilities to achieve 120% sales growth. A couple of years later, I returned to brand management and have since worked on Unilever food brands in Ecuador, Venezuela and Colombia. I have produced campaigns and product innovations for brands in the Ice Cream category, as well as highlighted weaknesses and opportunities to develop marketing solutions for Unilever’s Savoury brands Knorr and Maizena.

My current role as Ecommerce and Social Channels Manager has so far included the creation and development of new Unilever sales channels in 9 countries, as well as developing a 4 Million-revenue strategy for the Ecommerce sales channel in Colombia in 2017. In addition to my work for Unilever brands, I have also had the pleasure of working with the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan (USLP) Team, including volunteering at local schools and developing a marketing strategy to recruit more Unilever employees to volunteer in USLP activities.
