About Alicia

I am a global marketing executive with 20+ years building and scaling consumer brands across FMCG, beauty, fashion and food - from Latin America to global headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden.

I offer fractional Marketing Director, interim marketing leadership and project-based consulting for companies that need senior marketing expertise without a full-time hire. My work sits at the intersection of global brand strategy and local market activation, the gap where most brands lose their growth.

What I deliver in a consulting engagement:
  • Brand positioning and repositioning
  • Go-to-market strategy and execution
  • Innovation pipeline development
  • Social commerce and community architecture
  • Digital and performance marketing strategy
  • Geo-localisation frameworks for multi-market campaigns
  • Agency briefing, selection and management
  • Marketing team development and leadership
Recent results that are directly relevant to consulting work:
  • Built a Gen Z brand from zero to +120% penetration - #1 in 5 major markets in 18 months (Oriflame)

  • Repositioned a heritage brand to +1.2% market share - best launch programme across 10 countries (Yanbal)
  • Delivered +9% sales growth and +17% community engagement through global brand repositioning (Oriflame)
  • +300% revenue growth in Year 1 from full brand and portfolio relaunch (ConAgra / Del Monte Mexico)
