SENIOR ASSOCIATE

Javier Nieto

Results-driven Senior Marketer with over 15 years of CMO and VP-level experience across Fintech, SaaS, Payments and B2B technology. I combine a rare blend of strategic vision, analytical rigour and hands-on creative execution to help global organisations grow — through sharper positioning, higher-performing digital programmes, stronger brand narratives and more effective marketing teams. Equally comfortable leading a rebrand for a NASDAQ-bound SaaS company, building a demand generation engine from scratch, or producing a campaign that moves the needle on share of voice and qualified pipeline.
