From Boardrooms to Build Sites

Two Decades on Your Side of the Table

My career didn't follow a straight line — it was building toward something. I spent fifteen years as a senior executive at Fortune 100 media companies — NBCUniversal, TelevisaUnivision, Sony Music — leading organizations through mergers, acquisitions, and large-scale transformations. As VP of People Experience, I managed thousands of employees across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe, led workforce deployments for FIFA World Cups, and guided teams through some of the most complex organizational changes in the industry.

Through every transformation, the physical space was central to the strategy. I oversaw office relocations, new headquarters buildouts, and workplace redesigns — not as a bystander, but as the client-side leader holding architects and designers accountable. I was the one in the room pushing back on plans that looked impressive but didn't function, delivering hard truths to executives about decisions that would hurt morale or workflow, and making sure every space we built actually served the people inside it.

That executive discipline lives in everything we do at Altura. The precision. The structure. The refusal to let a single detail go unquestioned. Discerning clients don't just want beautiful design — they want to feel held through the process. Anticipated. Understood before they have to explain. That intuition doesn't come from a design course — it comes from fifteen years in rooms where the stakes were measured in millions and the margin for error was zero. It's why we built The Atelier. It's why every project begins with a brief — and ends with a space that was worth the investment.

Miami Native, Global Vision

Born in the Magic City. Building Beyond It.

My father designed restaurants, medical centers, government buildings, and parks across Miami — his work is woven into this city's landscape. I grew up understanding its neighborhoods, its building codes, its rhythms. From the Mediterranean character of Coral Gables to the Art Deco energy of Miami Beach, from the canopy of Coconut Grove to the towers of Brickell — this city is in our DNA.

That foundation now extends across the Atlantic. We design residences, restaurants, pieds-à-terre, and finca-estates across Spain — from Madrid to Marbella, Alicante to Ibiza — where our current project, a private compound on the Mediterranean coast, is shaping up to be our most ambitious work yet. Through our partner studio in Paris, we're expanding our reach into France — bringing the Altura aesthetic and design DNA to a global clientele.
