Schedule an Introductory CallWhat I Work On
Three core consulting pillars connecting semantic SEO, AI visibility, and market intelligence for international brands.
AI Visibility & Knowledge Graph Strategy
Designing semantic structures so that systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google can correctly interpret, connect, and surface your brand across languages and markets.
Semantic International SEO
Building market- and language-specific architectures for Europe, Latin America, and North America — aligning search behavior, cultural meaning, and technical SEO into one coherent system.
Market Intelligence for Digital Markets
Using search queries, semantic patterns, and cultural signals to understand how markets move — and where your brand can position itself before competitors arrive.
Background & Approach
From Berlin to Buenos Aires
With a background in Economics and Linguistics, I have spent over two decades working at the intersection of language, technology, and market strategy. Since the early 2000s, I have been building and optimizing digital projects across Europe and Latin America.
Before focusing on Semantic SEO and AI visibility, I spent 15+ years in content localization — working with organizations such as the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, Counter Extremism Project, universities, and international brands. This work on cross-cultural meaning transfer now informs how I design semantic systems for search and AI.
Born in Berlin and based in Argentina, I bridge European analytical rigor with Latin American market reality and perspective — a combination that shapes how I approach international SEO, semantic architectures, and market intelligence across Europe, Latin America, and North America.

Where Theory Meets Practice
My approach to semantic SEO is grounded in hands-on work with language and culture.
MundoDELE
Spanish language education and intercultural competence. This is where I test semantic localization concepts in practice — working daily with how meaning shifts across languages, how cultural context shapes understanding, and how people actually learn to navigate between linguistic worldviews.
Teaching language reinforces what I know about international SEO: successful cross-cultural communication is not about translation, but about understanding how meaning is constructed and perceived differently across cultures.
