Héctor Pita
Advisor

Industrial Engineer, generator of new initiatives to develop business.

19 years of experience primarily in the entertainment sector.
True believer that incorporating Internet (web, social networks, mobile, etc.) in any production process you generate savings and increase profits.


Developer of e-strategies to solve challenges of production, trade, communication, marketing and sales.
The last years I have worked in position brands telling stories, distributing them and adapting them to each media; in order to retain and attract a specific group of consumers for sales.

Innovation has been a constant in my work, the consumer is waiting you surprised it every day and the only way to achieve this is trying new things.

I am steward of what happens every day in the social environment.
It worries me that hard work and delivery of Mexicans is not valued and perceived in the whole world. I also believe that all Mexicans need to be demanding, responsible and active citizens.

We have services and the Government that we deserve. You must put our grain of sand and become agents of change in our society.


I like my family, reading and good cinema. Exercise - I'm now into swimming - and a bit of yoga. I'm a Raiders and Pumas fan even if they lose.
