I spent fifteen years mastering how people actually consume content. I build stories that sell to the distracted, from scroll-stopping social lines to large-scale e-commerce campaigns.

I study what catches the eye, what keeps it, and how language can make brands feel current without chasing trends.

I speak about writing for new audiences and new media, where attention is short, expectations are high, and authenticity alone isn’t enough.
My topics explore how to translate human behavior into clear, relatable communication that cuts through noise and earns response.

I was on television at 6. Produced my first event at 11.
I’ve been in this game for a while—and I’ve never stopped watching how humans behave when the cameras are off.

Today, I lead CDH Tech Global, based in Miami and working worldwide.
I speak at conferences, lead trainings, and collaborate with governments, creative teams, marketing leaders, and C-Level decision makers who are done with recycled strategies.

I’ve received international awards in innovation, strategy, and creativity, across diverse industries and cultural contexts.

💔 Human connection, tech & emotional dynamics

Ghosting (emotional, professional, cultural)

Broken bonds and the role of tech

Love in the age of algorithms

Honest communication vs. branded connection

How we treat each other when the spotlight’s gone

🧭 MICE, events, audiences & the new consumer

Event formats that actually work (the rest are noise)

What’s really shifting in MICE & business travel

Innovation in events: from spectacle to substance

The new consumer and their precision bullshit filter

Audiences that evolve faster than your strategy deck

I’ve spoken at:
SITE Global, DisruptFest, Wonder Women Tech (California), Marketing Day Digital (closing keynote), WIN Mastermind, and more.
Also featured in media like EBTV, LATV, Sonríe Miami, and digital platforms.

I don’t speak to entertain.
I speak to move something.
And when that happens, the event doesn’t end when the lights go off.
