He was later hired as Marketing Director for Premula Corp., where he led the Media, Trends and Fashion departments and developed several high-profile operations in Buenos Aires and Punta del Este.

In between stints, he contributed as marketing advisor for Global Games Group in Germany and was a co-executive producer of the highly successful Extra Mile Endurathon in Buenos Aires.
