UX Strategy

About Me

Over 20 years I've led UX at scale for IBM, Deloitte Digital, and Backbase — delivering enterprise products for US global companies including AT&T, Motorola Solutions, and Lithia Motors, and major banks across Mexico and LATAM. I've built design teams from the ground up, created design systems adopted across entire organizations, and brought structure to environments where fragmentation was slowing everything down. My work sits at the intersection of design leadership, operations, and strategy. I don't just manage designers — I build the conditions for design to have a real impact on business outcomes.
