01 THE PERSPECTIVE
A generalist by nature.
A connector
by instinct.
Marketing doesn’t happen in a silo.
Neither does growth.
I’m Sergio—a bilingual, bicultural marketer and business development professional. I connect the dots between what a business offers, what its customers need, and the opportunities it hasn’t seen yet.
From financial services and food to education and healthcare, I bring a wider lens to the challenge in front of you. Sometimes that means a sharper strategy. Sometimes it means the right partner. Often, it starts with a better question.

02 WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Where are you
ready to grow?
A sounding board. A strategic partner.
A fresh set of eyes on what comes next.
CLARITY BEFORE COMPLEXITY01 / 04
Give your next move
a clear direction.
When your marketing feels busy but the path forward feels uncertain, an independent perspective can make the difference. Let’s connect your business goals to a strategy your team can act on.
- Brand positioning & messaging
- Go-to-market & growth strategy
- Campaign direction & media thinking
- Fractional CMO perspective
THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS02 / 04
Open a door.
Create an opportunity.
Growth often starts between businesses, people, and ideas. I help you see where interests align, shape a compelling proposition, and explore relationships that can move the business forward.
- Strategic partnership thinking
- New business opportunities
- Market & audience connections
- Partnership positioning & outreach
READY FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER03 / 04
Make the ambition
easier to understand.
A strong business needs a clear story. I work with founders on their positioning, growth priorities, and fundraising thinking—bringing the perspective of an advisor, venture scout, and angel investor.
- Founder & business advisory
- Investor narrative & pitch perspective
- Capital-raising strategy
- Angel & venture ecosystem connections
CULTURE IS THE CONNECTION04 / 04
Understand the people.
Build the relevance.
Reaching an audience starts with understanding it. My bilingual, bicultural background brings a human lens to US Hispanic, multicultural, and direct-to-consumer marketing.
- US Hispanic market perspective
- Consumer & cultural insights
- Bilingual brand communication
- Multicultural & DTC positioning
SmarketingA WAY OF THINKING
Creative thinking.
Strategic connections.
A wider view of what’s possible.
03 THE RIPPLE EFFECT
Growth means more
when it’s shared.
Since 2017, mentoring has been a way to give back—and keep learning. Different founders, different markets, and one shared ambition: to build something that lasts.
