That has allowed me to balance my duties as Marketing and Sponsorships Director for Del King Entertainment with running my company, Kolektiv 360, a hub for talent development and growth, through experienced and specialized consulting for successful, long-lasting and profitable careers.
In my early stages, I was more about the music than the business, but the approach gradually started switching and the business side took a more predominant role. Despite my engineering degree –which also supports my love for Technology–, and my passion and commitment for Music and its Industry, I have also long since shown great interest in Marketing, Public Relations, Media and Business Management, areas in which I have specialized over the years.
I have worn many hats in my career -Musician, Recording Engineer, Music Producer, Artist Manager, Marketing Manager-, and most of them during my entrepreneurial stages, be it as partner of a recording studio, independent artist manager, or partner/CEO of an artist management company and booking agency. This last enterprise was called HOME Artists, and operated for almost 8 years -from 2003 to 2010- until it was sold to publicly traded entertainment giant OCESA, in a deal that included the company's roster and its human talent. I since became Marketing Manager of OCESA and Auditorio Banamex in my hometown, Monterrey, Mexico, and worked there for 5 years.
I am quality-oriented, strongly committed on delivering results, with a solid sense of team leadership. Management is an integral part of my life, and it has also helped me develop operational and strategic processes. I find innovation, efficiency, organization and honesty, indispensable in my quest for personal and professional growth.
