    Summary:

    • Driving growth strategy and digital client acquisition for GBM (Grupo Bursátil Mexicano) by executing WhatsApp engagement initiatives and building an AI-native data brain that turns operational tables into fast, optimal SQL queries — enabling rapid growth hypothesis testing, documented learnings, and fast iteration.
