Background
I was trained for one career. Top student in Brazil on the engineering track, full scholarship to Canada to deepen in physics, on the path to Civil Engineering. I refused the life because it would have asked me to leave three other things at home: code (self-taught in Java, C++, and HTML since 14), art and creative direction, and a commercial instinct inherited from a family of systems analysts. I chose marketing because it was the only discipline that let me carry all four toolkits into the same room.
Nike Brazil was my first enterprise role and the greatest school of branding I have ever attended. I worked in the branding department looking after Nike.com, product launches, SEO, and the Nike Running Club and Nike Training Club CRM systems. Working alongside some of the best marketing minds in the Brazilian market taught me what brand equity actually looks like when it is built with discipline.
From there, Dubai. Accor, then Ennismore, where I earned my CIM Professional Marketing certification and expanded into PR, sales, and strategic planning. Jumeirah followed, managing digital marketing across 25+ properties. At Nike Brazil marketers thought I was an engineer. At Accor and Ennismore engineers thought I was a strategist. At Jumeirah nobody had a name for the shape I was becoming. The word that fit, when it arrived, was architect.
Not Advice. Operating Systems.
A pre-opening campaign I led in Dubai for O Beach built AED 13 million in revenue and a guest database of 76,000 in five months on a budget of AED 3.4 million, a 7.8x ROI. That result did not come from effort. It came from a data architecture that automated guest qualification, segmented communication by spend profile, and used predictive targeting before the season opened. Not a campaign. An operating system for demand generation.
I currently serve as Director of Marketing, Digital & Innovation at Nara Hospitality Group, running marketing across five brands with a team of three and a full AI workflow integration in production. My thesis is consistent: the brands that will win the next five years of UAE hospitality marketing are the ones with an architect rather than another hire. Architecture beats headcount.
What I Build
Three systems. One compound operation.
Every engagement builds toward the same end state: a hospitality operation where marketing, guest retention, and revenue generation run on infrastructure — not effort.
AI-native operations
Production AI systems deployed inside live hospitality operations: n8n, Make, Claude, Gemini. Running in deployment, not slide decks.
Guest retention engines
CRM architecture, WhatsApp automation, email sequences, predictive targeting. Systems that compound guest value over time.
Marketing infrastructure
Content systems, attribution modelling, performance reporting. Every asset built to be measurable, repeatable, and owned — not rented.
