About Sara

I help European tech companies and scale-ups grow in markets where direct execution is not enough: designing partner ecosystems, opening indirect distribution channels, and developing entry strategies for Spain and Latin America.
With over 15 years leading commercial expansion in the Google, Aleph Group, and Central American markets ecosystems, I have built replicable growth models in environments where the product was unknown and trust had to be earned from scratch.
What sets me apart is not just knowing the markets, but understanding how to build the commercial model that makes them sustainable: which partners to activate first, how to structure agreements, how to generate pipeline without relying on direct sales.
I work with companies that want to enter LATAM with criteria, not improvisation. And with teams that need a partner model that actually generates business, not just signs agreements.
