Description
ENGLISH:

Bringing over twenty years of versatile editorial experience encompassing journalism, book publishing, and digital content curation, I have continually demonstrated my adaptability and expertise in literature and cultural entertainment.
My strong background as a writer and proven track record as a successful book publisher have equipped me with the expertise to identify promising writers and compelling literary topics. My unique blend of creativity and industry expertise bridges the gap between the literary world and TV streaming platforms with career highlights that include shaping the success of Argentina's best-selling book as its editor while at Penguin, and spearheading impactful streaming series launches for Paramount+.
Passionate about the ever-evolving world of content creation and adaptation, I thrive on the synergy of TV, film, pop culture, and I have a voracious appetite for books and reading. With a strong presence in the Latin American literary landscape, I have fostered enduring connections with almost all authors and editors in the country, establishing a solid network within the industry. My professional strengths shine in effective leadership and stakeholder engagement, and I have a robust track record successfully pitching books at C-Suite level, achieving exceptional results due to my deep understanding of platform expectations for book titles and my ability to effectively convey their potential value.
With a strong academic background, multiple professional accolades, bilingual proficiency in Spanish and English, and a keen cultural awareness, I offer an international perspective and versatility to work in the EU and Americas. I am eager to expand my international career and contribute in roles such as content manager, editor, literary agent, or writer within book publishing, streaming platforms, agencies, or magazines.
