A marketing specialist dedicated to helping entrepreneurs to create or re-invent brands with positive impact on the world.
I’m a mother and marketing professional. My great challenge in life, being a woman, has been continuing to develop professionally while maintaining a family and raising two children. Despite this, I have had a very successful career and I was recognised as a “Women to Watch” with 16 other top female marketing executives of Argentina. At this point, as proud as I was of my accomplishments, I started to wonder WHY I was working non-stop and what I really wanted from my life. Working with ‘Chivas The Venture – A project for social entrepreneurs’ I discovered that there was a new model in companies, driven by the B Corp movement, focusing efforts on sustainable business. I decided to leave my comfort zone and co-create my own socially responsible business with ‘The Curious Beetle’. In 2018 I entered the community of B Corporation professionals, becoming a B Leader.

“Anyone can become an agent of social transformation. We all have the potential to be protagonists of change in our world and leave a positive impact for the new generations”.

A bit about me
I have a 20-year marketing career, specialising in FMCGs, specifically the food and beverage categories. Working with multinational companies like Pernod Ricard, Kraft Foods and AB InBev, I have developed and implemented strategies for local and global brands. I have had a very successful marketing career, becoming Marketing Director. I have taught at numerous institutions in Argentina, as well as mentored entrepreneurs at ENDEAVOR Experience Buenos Aires.
“This experience in teaching and coaching has really helped me to spread the message about social entrepreneurism, and to assist people in their journeys to develop purpose-driven business, with success.”
When I took the time to reflect on my past and look to my future, I knew that it was time for a change, and that I could be using my talents to positively impact the world.
“I discovered my passion, the real purpose that motivated me: To be an expert in “marketing with purpose”, spreading passion for brands, with a feminine and human leadership for doing good in the world.”
Then my new challenge, was to make the jump from employee to owner. It was a real change of mindset. I knew that Julieta was totally aligned with my point of view and values in life, that´s why I co-founded ‘The Curious Beetle’ with my closest friend, someone who I love and admire deeply.

A passionate entrepreneur and marketing strategist dedicated to help you to convert your sustainable business idea into a successful reality.
In 2016, I left a long career in the corporate world to pursue my personal purpose and reinvent myself. I gave up the security of the 9-5 to follow my dreams and do something more meaningful with my life… I am sure you and I have a lot in common… You want to make a difference, but you do not want to sacrifice making a fair living either. You want to create a purposeful brand to inspire others. You want to encourage people to buy your products without being like all the other pushy businesses out there. Maybe you are feeling powerless and thinking ”it’s not the right time”, “I’m too small and the issues are too big”, “I don’t have the skills or the audacity to dream of…”, “I’m really scared of failure”, “I don’t want to lose the stability of my current job”, “I don’t have enough capital”….

A bit about me
I spent 20 years working in marketing for well-known global companies such as Unilever, The Coca-Cola Company, AB InBev and Kraft Foods, gaining valuable experience leading over 20 brands. I had a successful marketing career but one day I woke up and asked myself. What’s my purpose? The answer emerged quickly. I launched Design Junkie in 2016 to help artisans in developing markets keep their traditions of handmade textiles alive, as I saw them slowly dying off around the world. I created a business plan committed to my brand purpose. From there everything took off! I became an Instagram influencer, now leading a tribe of 177.000 followers from all corners of the world. Without meaning to, I had created an organic movement of inspired people who also want to help others. I gradually spent the last two years encouraging people, as well as guiding them, to start and grow their own social businesses.
“Pero sabía que quería impactar a más empresarios que quieren cambiar el mundo”.
The Curious Beetle nació.
And in case you want to know more…
  • I am Argentine by birth but live in London. I moved to London to follow the love of my life, Pranav, a British-Indian who I met while on holidays in Brazil in 2010.
  • Cultural differences were one of the hardest things to overcome when I moved to London, I had to learn the British and Indian culture.
  • I love travelling the world, I have been to about 40 countries, and I really enjoy learning new things and experiencing different cultures.
  • My favourite quote is “Constant Growth is Driven by Constant Evolution”.
  • Social media has taught me that collaboration is a powerful tool for all small business owners, no matter what industry or business you are in.

Because that is where you learn the most from. Not all the projects I worked on were 100% successful, I was able to learn from my failures and capitalise on them in the future.

Despite this, I have had a very successful career and I was recognised as a “Women to Watch” with 16 other top female marketing executives of Argentina by Adlatina and AdAge in 2016. At this point, as proud as I was of my accomplishments, I started to wonder WHY I was working non-stop and what I really wanted from my life. “I asked myself “what is my purpose in life and work? and what is my contribution to the world?” Working with ‘Chivas The Venture – A project for social entrepreneurs’ I discovered that there was a new model in companies, driven by the B Corp movement, focusing efforts on sustainable business that not only generate profits but also positively impact our world. I realised this was going to be my new challenge, this new movement was something really inspiring where I could put my energy. I decided to leave my comfort zone and co-create my own socially responsible business with ‘The Curious Beetle’, inspiring and encouraging entrepreneurs and small companies to be part of this ever-growing movement of social business. In 2018 I entered the community of B Corporation professionals, becoming a B Leader. Thanks to this, I am now fully aware there are many tools available to create or transform your business towards a positive impact model. It is not a utopia, and it has its own unique set of challenges, but it can be achieved! “Anyone can become an agent of social transformation. We all have the potential to be protagonists of change in our world and leave a positive impact for the new generations”.

I am Argentinean, married to Andres (the artist of the family) and mother of Simon and Rocio (my two great blessings). I really love my family! I was born in Mar del Plata, a seaside city. I love the water, that’s why I am a scuba diver. I love travelling and exploring the world, alone or with friends and family. It is a great motivation in my life and the best legacy for my children, who can know the diversity of the world. My hobby is photography. In the year 2018, Gaby Herbestein (TOP 5 Argentinian visual artist) called me to join her team, as the role of strategy and planning, and I agreed to be part of the visual project “Believe to See”. If you dream it, you can achieve it! I am extrovert and I really like to meet people of all different ages, origins and sexes. I have two favourite quotes: “the key to success is the attitude” and “the goal is not only to arrive, but also to enjoy the way”. I love being able to offer my experience to entrepreneurs: to give them good tips on how to learn how to analyse opportunities with their brands, to give talks, workshops, mentoring sessions and classes to students. I like to collaborate with people and NGO´s, that’s why I always enjoy working to make my dreams a reality.
A bit about me
I have a 20-year marketing career, specialising in FMCGs, specifically the food and beverage categories. Working with multinational companies like Pernod Ricard, Kraft Foods and AB InBev, I have developed and implemented strategies for local and global brands such as Absolut, Chivas, MUMM, Cafayate wines, Gatorade, Pepsi, Tropicana – managed teams and created product portfolios with a strong focus on business for both domestic and export markets. I have had a very successful marketing career, becoming Marketing Director in the final three years of my corporate career. I have taught at numerous institutions in Argentina, as well as mentored entrepreneurs at ENDEAVOR Experience Buenos Aires.
This experience in teaching and coaching has really helped me to spread the message about social entrepreneurism, and to assist people in their journeys to develop purpose-driven business, with success.

Then my new challenge, was to make the jump from employee to owner. It was a real change of mindset. I knew that I could capitalize on my many years of marketing experience to help others carve a path of triple-impact marketing that leaves a positive impact. I am very grateful for all I have learned and the skills I have gained in all my years of working in large companies, but I was truly passionate about this new challenge that would focus on giving back to society and the world. That is why my priority is to help entrepreneurs, companies in development and the most vulnerable. I knew that Julieta was totally aligned with my point of view and values in life, that´s why I co-founded ‘The Curious Beetle’ with my closest friend, someone who I love and admire deeply.

A bit about me
I spent 20 years working in marketing for well-known global companies such as Unilever, The Coca-Cola Company, AB InBev and Kraft Foods, gaining valuable experience leading over 20 brands. In that time, I was busy creating and launching a plethora of brands in different industries such as water, pastas, cookies, infusions, beers and home décor in both Argentina and the UK. I specialised in brand innovation and marketing strategy. I had a successful marketing career but one day I woke up and asked myself. What’s my purpose? In my case, the answer emerged quickly. “When I took charge and followed my calling, it changed my life.” I launched Design Junkie in 2016 to help artisans in developing markets keep their traditions of handmade textiles alive, as I saw them slowly dying off around the world. I created a business plan committed to my brand purpose. From there everything took off! I became an Instagram influencer, now leading a tribe of 177.000 engaged followers from all corners of the world. Without meaning to, I had created an organic movement of inspired people who also want to help. My story was published in many magazines and newspapers, I did interviews on radio and blogs, I was invited to talks and events… And soon after, I began to receive messages from entrepreneurs who wanted to know how I had achieved this amazing goal. One of the things I’m often asked is “How on earth did you get started in all this?” For that reason, I gradually spent the last two years encouraging people, as well as guiding them, to start and grow their own social businesses. “But I knew I wanted to impact even more entrepreneurs who want to change the world.” ‘The Curious Beetle’ was born. I co-founded with my closest friend, Alejandra, someone who I admire deeply, professionally and personally, and with whom I am 100% aligned with on vision and values.

In 2016, I left a long career in the corporate world to pursue my personal purpose and reinvent myself. I gave up the security of the 9-5 to follow my dreams and do something more meaningful with my life… “In the corporate world I was winning, but in the wrong game.” I’m so proud of myself for having the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life that others expected of me. With my ambitions, energy and positive mindset I have since created not one but two successful and socially responsible businesses that have touched thousands of lives. If you are reading this, I am sure you and I have a lot in common… You want to make a difference, but you do not want to sacrifice making a fair living either. You want to create a purposeful brand to inspire others. You want to encourage people to buy your products without being like all the other pushy businesses out there. Maybe you are feeling powerless and thinking ”it’s not the right time”, “I’m too small and the issues are too big”, “I don’t have the skills or the audacity to dream of…”, “I’m really scared of failure”, “I don’t want to lose the stability of my current job”, “I don’t have enough capital”…. STOP! You must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today’s world. I have been there, I have felt those same fears but overcame them and I’m now living the life of my dreams! The world needs more social entrepreneurs and change-makers like you.
And in the case you want to know more…
I am Argentine by birth but live in London. I moved to London to follow the love of my life, Pranav, a British-Indian who I met while on holidays in Brazil in 2010. Cultural differences were one of the hardest things to overcome when I moved to London, I had to learn the British and Indian culture, I had to switch my language to English, I had to make new friends and embrace a new family. However, I love my new home. I love travelling the world, I have been to about 40 countries, and I really enjoy learning new things, experiencing different cultures and getting to know the life of the locals. I am an introvert masquerading as an extrovert, and I am usually very convincing but the language barrier sometimes plays a tough game. I am a frustrated graphic designer… I didn’t study it, but I love design, and when I can… I try my hand at it… with varying results. My favourite quote is “Constant Growth is Driven by Constant Evolution.” Social media has taught me that collaboration is a powerful tool for all small business owners, no matter what industry or business you are in.
