Technology & Digital Transformation Executive

Technology that moves the P&L.

I lead IT&D for Reckitt across Spanish Latin America as a member of the regional leadership team. For 20+ years across FMCG, Consumer Health, Nutrition and Pharma, I've turned digital investment into what the business actually measures: sales, productivity, cost and compliance.

How I lead

An engineer's rigor, a CFO's lens.

With degrees in electronic engineering and finance, I judge technology by one standard: does it grow sales, give people time back, or protect and create value? I'm a trusted advisor to C-level leaders, bridging corporate governance with local market execution.

01

Grow the top line

Commercial technology that shows up in sell-out: algorithmic field routing, marketplaces, quick-commerce and AI for marketing.

02

Give people time back

Automation, modern ERP and shared services that remove friction from daily work and turn FTE capacity into strategic value.

03

Protect & create value

Resilient plants and supply chains, clean audits, disciplined M&A separations and vendor economics that free up millions.

Selected impact

Outcomes, not projects.

A selection of results delivered with regional teams, business partners and vendors across Latin America.

+1–5%

Sell-out lift per visited store

Replaced static promoter calendars with algorithm-based routing across supermarkets and pharmacies — less travel downtime, more coverage.

+70%

Digital commerce vs. prior year

Co-led commercial tech and strategy with Amazon and Mercado Libre, adjusting campaigns minute-by-minute on Prime Day, Buen Fin and Black Friday.

5-module AI suite

AI from framework to production

Launched an enterprise marketing AI suite (Brand Health, Insights, Creative Content) across the region and set its Responsible-AI governance.

Experience

Two decades, two global leaders.

A path built from the network room to the regional board — which is why I can talk P&L with the CFO and root cause with the plant engineer.
