Juan Diego Bermúdez Mesquita
Director - APAC
I love working with Agencies: Media, Creative, Digital, PR or UX specialized agencies. For me, it’s all about the culture and helping clients build it by finding talent that not only ticks all the boxes but embraces their ethos. I take pride in every single role I take on, from Account Execs (they are the future of the business, after all) to Managing Partners, and C Suite leaders. I also love brands, and understand the type of talent that thrives within them – holistic marketing specialists, content virtuosos, PR wizards, and pretty much everyone who plays a part in the comms department. I am here for the long run, and I aim to build long lasting bonds with my clients, as their success is my success. Hit me up if you are in search of the right talent.
