Brand Building

Senior Manager, Regional Lead at Activision Mobile

I’ll skip the obvious and will tell you the unique. My laughter might be the most explosive you’ll ever hear. I am honest and don’t waste my time doing things I don’t enjoy. Loved ones are everything. D&I is my passion and video games are my life.

I am a strategic marketer with experience building and leading diverse teams covering: go-to-market strategy, brand, influencer, esports, PR, Social Media, partnerships and Product Marketing. I've had a go at ecommerce, payment methods, and digital marketing. I proudly identify as a nerd, digital since 2009 (That's 15 years, folks!) with a profound calling to build a more loving, diverse and inclusive world. 

I have a personal goal of impacting at least one person a year in a life-changing way. I believe helping others grow is the best to grow, and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to give back.

During my free time, I am a gamer, a cook, a writer, and a human seeking to be better than yesterday. Besides Helsinki, I have lived in Mexico City, Shanghai, Paris, Florence, Venice, Valencia, San Sebastián and New York.
