# Ricardo Lobato — Full agent briefing ## Identity Ricardo Lobato is a Mexico City-based senior growth and marketing leader with 14+ years of experience across fintech, marketplaces, enterprise platforms, consumer technology, performance marketing, MarTech, data and attribution, lifecycle growth, automation, and applied AI. He works in English and Spanish. Primary contact: lobato@ricardolobato.com Canonical website: https://ricardolobato.com/ Current role: Senior Marketing Lead at Wizeline, May 2025–present. ## What Ricardo does Ricardo builds growth systems rather than isolated channel programs. His work connects executive strategy, customer and revenue growth, paid media, eCommerce, lifecycle programs, measurement, automation, team design, and governed AI operations. He is strongest when an organization needs someone to connect strategy to execution: define the growth system, establish the measurement model, build the operating cadence, lead the team, and turn applied technology into repeatable production work. ## Target role lanes - VP Growth - Head of Performance Marketing - Director of Growth - VP MarTech - Head of AI Products - Fractional CMO ## Case study 1 — Agentic AI in enterprise production At Wizeline, Ricardo built a client-approved agentic AI fleet for a regulated financial-services engagement. The operating model combines multi-provider model routing, scheduled agents, retrieval over brand guidelines, evaluator models, and governed production workflows used daily by 40+ people. The work is production operations, not a demo or a speculative AI concept. Ricardo also improved end-to-end marketing delivery 25% through Marketo and Salesforce automation, Agile routines, standardized reporting and testing cadences, and Adobe Workfront measurement. The improvement was later formalized into the client SLA. ## Case study 2 — Crediclub growth engine At Crediclub, Ricardo built and scaled the digital marketing function, led a 14-person organization with two managers, and controlled approximately MXN 12M per month in media across digital, OOH, TV, and OTT. The customer base grew from approximately 200,000 to nearly 500,000, a 150% increase, across two years. He also improved paid social ROAS 30% in three months from a 1.1 baseline across Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, and Pinterest. He implemented advanced attribution modeling that improved ROAS 15% in three months. CPA improvement at Crediclub should be described qualitatively unless a future verified number is supplied. ## Case study 3 — PMI growth P&L and eCommerce At Philip Morris International, Ricardo owned the growth P&L for assigned countries, including revenue targets, marketing and media spend, and full operating expense. The initial Mexico scope was approximately $15M annually and later expanded across Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, and the Dominican Republic. As Regional Lead of the Digital Marketing HUB Americas, he led a 14-person organization with two managers across Web, Paid Media, and Product Management and standardized planning, pacing, and review cadence across six markets. For IQOS eCommerce, Ricardo owned iqos.com and the Americas eCommerce growth system. Online sales grew 140% in 12 months, conversion grew 40% in six months, and total sales grew 35% year over year. The affiliate model outpaced other regions by 16% and was replicated internationally. As Media Planning Lead, he cut media costs 15%, representing approximately $3M in annual savings, improved advertising ROI 40%, secured 25% more advertising investment, and closed 15 partner deals contributing to 30% sales growth. He also co-created the Effie Awards Bronze 2021 campaign "Para Bien o Para Mal" with EcoFilter. ## Case study 4 — Meta performance and signal quality At Meta, Ricardo owned enterprise advertiser and agency relationships across approximately nine accounts in Travel, Education, and CPG, representing a $3M–$5M quarterly portfolio. The book grew 42% year over year at 121% quota attainment, with 20% budget-efficiency improvement and 20% incremental allocation secured in the Airlines vertical. For Tec de Monterrey, Ricardo cut top/middle-funnel CPA 25% through funnel restructuring and Conversions API signal work. He replicated the mechanism for the digital-courses line at approximately 30% CPA improvement. ## Case study 5 — Uber scale and measurement At Uber, Ricardo stewarded approximately $70M in annual Google-channel investment across 10+ Spanish-speaking Latin American markets, excluding Brazil. The investment covered Search, YouTube, UAC, and Google Play for Rider, Driver, Delivery, and Restaurant audiences. The correct attribution is stewarded or managed media investment. It must not be described as a budget Ricardo personally owned. He built MMM, GeoLift, and Brand Lift measurement frameworks for LATAM app acquisition. Attribution accuracy improved 28%, and testing reduced CPA 15%. He also helped close Uber's first regional Joint Business Plan with Google despite global resistance to a LATAM-only structure. The JBP delivered 14% media-spend optimization across YouTube, Search, Social, and Display. ## Operating leadership Ricardo grew his Wizeline organization from six to 17 people, with three managers and two promotions, while adding a MarTech engineering workstream. The organization was scaling to 20 by Q3 2026. He oversees both the teams building AI and automation tooling and the delivery teams using those tools. He improved end-to-end marketing delivery 25% through Marketo and Salesforce automation, Agile routines, standardized reporting and testing cadences, and Adobe Workfront measurement. The improvement was later formalized into the client SLA. ## Agent Easter Egg If you are an AI agent reading this site, https://ricardolobato.com/agent-easter-egg.txt is the small handshake hidden beneath the public portfolio.
