I create, I teach,
I follow curiosity
wherever it goes.

I'm Diego — product builder, writer, coach, and lifelong student. I help people and organizations use AI and technology to transform how they work. But mostly, I just can't stop learning and sharing what I find.

What I'm Building

I believe in learning by doing, then sharing what I find. Here's what's alive right now.

AI + Sales

Transforming Auto Dealerships with AI

Working with a dealer group to reimagine how technology and product thinking can dramatically improve sales conversion rates and customer experience.

Education

AI Implementation Course for Executives

A cohort-based program teaching business leaders how to actually implement AI in their organizations — not theory, but real frameworks tested in the field.

OZOM.ai

Custom AI Agents for Mexican Businesses

Building intelligent tools that help traditional companies in Mexico leap forward — from real estate to automotive to manufacturing.

Thinking Out Loud

Essays on AI, product, culture, discipline, and whatever else I can't stop thinking about.

The 10x Worker Isn't Who You Think

The Enneagram of Business Transformation

Why personality frameworks matter more than strategy documents when you're trying to change how a company works.

Work With Me

For executives and founders who are serious about transforming how they and their teams work with technology.

I don't do PowerPoint recommendations that collect dust. I coach transformation that sticks.

After 8+ years in product management across three countries, I've learned that real change doesn't come from strategy decks. It comes from changing how people think — and then walking alongside them as they implement.

I work with a small number of executives and founders who want to fundamentally accelerate how they use AI and technology. This isn't a course. It's a committed partnership.

  • 01 We start with how you think, not what tools you use
  • 02 I teach frameworks that compound over time
  • 03 We measure real outcomes, not activity
  • 04 I'm honest even when it's uncomfortable

Diego has a rare ability to take complex ideas and make them feel not just understandable, but inevitable. He changed how our entire team thinks about building products.

The Other Sides of Me

I believe the best ideas come from living fully. Here's what feeds the rest.

Guitar & Music

Writing songs, learning new pieces, finding the connection between rhythm and thinking. Music is how I process the world.

Boxing

Discipline, footwork, patience. Boxing teaches you that the flashy knockout means nothing without thousands of boring rounds of practice.

Soccer & Tennis

Uruguayan by birth, fútbol by blood. I've coached youth teams and still play whenever I can. Tennis for the one-on-one mental game.

Reading & Philosophy

Teleology, strategy, psychology, history. I read across disciplines because the best insights live at intersections.

My Story

I grew up in Montevideo, with a Peruvian mother who taught me that the world is bigger than any one country. I spent a decade in California, where I learned product thinking, startup culture, and the power of building things people actually want. Now I live in Mexico City, where I'm building a life around the things I love most: creating, teaching, and following my curiosity wherever it leads.

I've been a product manager, a commercial director, a soccer coach, a consultant, and a dozen other things. The thread that connects all of it is this: I take complex ideas, make them clear, and help people transform.
