jover nuevaespana
Visionary, CEO, AI Orchestrator, Digital Marketing Ninja
Jover Nuevaspana is a seasoned digital marketer, leader, and strategist with expertise spanning mobile marketing, CRM, operations management, process engineering, UX/product design, sales funnel design, and inbound marketing. He played a central role in helping a multi-million-dollar Canadian company launch seven SaaS products in under a year, leading customer onboarding to ensure every client got the most out of the product while also designing the marketing materials, landing pages, and sales funnels behind them, and later expanding the company's reach across the Asia-Pacific market. Over the course of his career he has worn nearly every hat in the business — UI/UX designer, programmer, writer, project manager, PPC manager, researcher, business developer, sales manager, marketer, strategist, consultant, and co-founder — giving him a rare ability to move fluidly between technical, creative, and commercial teams and to speak the language of tech geeks, marketers, designers, and founders alike. A self-described techie geek since childhood who was tinkering with robots by age twelve, he describes his approach simply: he doesn't chase credit, he chases outcomes, and he's built a career turning big ideas into things that actually ship.
