Alonso Garcia Puentes

I am an executive leader with 25+ years of experience strengthening corporate reputation, driving market expansion, and building high-impact partnerships across the U.S. and Latin America. My career spans corporate marketing, public affairs, government relations, enterprise sales, and strategic communication—always with a focus on connecting organizations with the stakeholders, institutions, and communities that define long-term success. I have held leadership roles at global NYSE-listed companies, including Getty Images (GETY) and Shutterstock (SSTK), where I led enterprise growth across Latin America, managed 300+ top accounts, and ranked #1 in regional sales for six consecutive years. I specialize in shaping market presence, guiding executive teams, and building bridges between companies, government entities, and industry influencers. Today, I work at the intersection of corporate strategy, public affairs, and strategic partnerships, helping brands expand their visibility and institutional influence. I also serve as an Executive & Personal Development Coach, supporting business leaders and athletes in developing stronger leadership skills, performance mindset, and communication capabilities. My background also includes public sector experience as Director of Public Relations for the Chilean Navy’s Naval & Maritime Museum, as well as high-visibility roles in U.S. Hispanic media with Azteca América, where I oversaw community affairs, civic engagement, and multicultural outreach. In addition, I served as an external consultant for multiple political campaigns in the United States, advising Senate, Congressional, and Commissioner candidates on strategy, messaging, and outreach for the Hispanic vote, supporting initiatives focused on community engagement and multicultural communication. I am driven by a C-Suite philosophy: Align strategy, communication, and institutional relationships to create measurable, sustainable impact.
