Private Equity and M&A Value Creation Leader

•

I am an award-winning Creative Director and Senior Creative Producer specializing in Generative AI content, with a focus on AI-driven film and video production. I have built a career leading groundbreaking campaigns in advertising and digital media, working with major brands such as Verizon, Intel, Merck, NBCUniversal, and AT&T. My work has earned industry recognitions, including an Effie Award. My expertise spans AI-enhanced storytelling, multimodal prompt engineering, and the integration of emerging AI technologies into traditional production workflows. I’m currently a Creator Partner with Higgsfield.ai, SkyReels.ai, and Imagine.Art, collaborating at the forefront of AI cinematic innovation. Key areas of focus: • AI Film & Video Production – Leveraging GenAI tools (Runway ML, Sora, Midjourney, ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly, Pika Labs, Luma, Kling, Higgsfield, Imagine.Art, SkyReels) to push the boundaries of storytelling and content creation. • Creative Direction & Content Strategy – Developing compelling narratives across digital, video, and experiential campaigns. • AI-Driven Innovation – Applying AI and machine learning to optimize production workflows and enhance creative processes. • Production & Digital Strategy – Managing large-scale projects, from enterprise websites to cross-platform media initiatives. Beyond production, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge of AI in creative fields. I have delivered guest lectures at institutions such as the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT, New York) and San Jose State University (SJSU, California), helping students and professionals navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape. I hold an MS in Mass Communications, a Professional Certificate in Film & Video Production from NYU, and I am furthering my expertise through postgraduate studies in Applied Artificial Intelligence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technlogy (MIT). Bilingual in English and Spanish, I am always open to project collaborations, AI training, and industry talks, panels, and lectures.

Screening through my cv, you may perceive a journey across various professions and sectors and cultures. My offer today: Provide short-term, time-limited, and to-the-point consulting at fair rate. From Financial and Managerial Accounting and Audtiting for German SMEs, to C-Level contributions to the Strategic Developments for Finance Functions of World Leaders; such as DPWN, BAYER, Johnson Controls,... A fundamental career-change led me to Higher Education and to Switzerland; having had the privilege to contribute to improvements of Adminstrative Processes and Systems for ETH and University Zurich. Finally taking advantage of being "at the source" of sciencific progress and innovation initiatives, I joined the Start-Up Ecosystems in Switzerland, and expand the network to Spain and India - meanwhile Mentoring, Coaching, Juroring, and sometimes Investing (early) - with a focus on Founders, rather than on Patents ;-)
