Strategy for products that move faster than their stories.

I built Content Strategy & Insights at Amazon Music and B2B at Audible. Now I focus on the problem that determines whether AI-native products grow: people only adopt what they understand.

Work

The layer between what a product can do and what people actually do with it.

Amazon Music

Content Strategy & Insights

Set up the function. Built a choice-architecture engine to greenlight content — behavioral economics applied to deciding what gets made, grounded in product impact, measurement, and audience research. Expanded distribution channels and VOD monetization frameworks for global content.

Audible

B2B, zero to sunset

Founding member of Audible for Business. Drove 43% of the business's total cash sales in a single year, championed its first international client launches, and announced the product from the mainstage of a 1,300-person national company kickoff. Co-led the sunset three years in — building and closing are both operator work.

Journalism first

Newsroom leadership at g1 (Rede Globo); bylines at VEJA Rio — inside VEJA, Brazil's largest newsweekly, then printing 1M+ copies a week — O Globo, and revista piauí. Founded a transmedia storytelling expedition across nine South Pacific countries: crowdfunded by 300+ readers, backed by GoPro, screened in Rio movie theaters.

About

Models and features ship daily, but the cadence has outpaced anyone's ability to absorb what it changes about how they live and work. The companies pulling ahead are the ones whose narratives most urgently need to close that gap.

At Amazon Music, I set up the content strategy function and built a choice-architecture engine to greenlight content, grounded in product impact, measurement, and audience research. At Audible, I was a founding member of its B2B arm and co-led its sunset three years later. That work delivered +35% YoY growth in both global content consumption and revenue.

Before all of that, I was a journalist in Brazil, with newsroom leadership at g1, Rede Globo — Latin America's largest media group — and bylines at VEJA, O Globo, and revista piauí. That was the foundation where I learned the skills this market is now repricing: ask the right question, listen for what isn't being said, write so people act. That's me, in the mask, on the cover — diving to the floor of Guanabara Bay to document why Rio couldn't deliver clean waters for the 2016 Olympics.

I do this natively in English, Spanish, and Portuguese across US, EU, APAC, and Latin American markets.
