Rodrigo Calvo

Summary

I am an accomplished entrepreneurial brand & company builder with a track record of developing disruptive organizations & commercial opportunities from the ground up, driving strategies & best practices across the customer journey, and positioning teams for maximum performance and sustained new market growth. These days, I am pursuing and leading client growth initiatives — applying my experience to established and early stage organizations from a variety of industries on a consulting basis. Prior, I rose the ranks across 11 years at UK-based boutique hotel travel company — Mr & Mrs Smith — where I led the company’s global expansion / transformation to become the world’s first club for curated, under-the-radar travel experiences. During this time, I spearheaded the hyper-localized entrance into numerous markets across Australia, New Zealand, Asia Pacific, and North & South America — building regional operational infrastructure and strategies for content syndication, new channel distribution, PR, and brand partnerships to deliver as much as 90% of total company growth. In my early career, I also led transformative engagements for the Jamie Oliver Group, Fremantle Media, and co-founded Pretorian Consulting Group where I oversaw the Marketing Practice. The bottom line — I am passionate about impacting consumer-first organizations in need of a well-rounded, collaborative leader who can bring the strategic rigor and accountability to transform their marketing practices for maximum potential.
