Nicolás Rodríguez Seara

I help digital businesses turn engineering into a growth engine. I’m a former VP of Engineering at Kavak and former Director of Engineering at Mercado Libre, with 20+ years of experience building and scaling ecommerce, marketplaces, MarTech, advertising, loyalty and AI systems across Latin America.

At Kavak, my teams doubled organic traffic in eight months and grew mobile monthly active users 1.6x while lifting the Play Store rating from 1.7 to 4.5. At Mercado Libre, I scaled an engineering organization from approximately 60 to 170 people and led platforms spanning attribution, advertising, subscriptions and lifecycle marketing.

I’m most useful to founder-led software, ecommerce and marketplace companies that have product-market fit but need to scale growth, sharpen their technology strategy, apply AI pragmatically or expand in Latin America. I bring operator judgment, technical depth and business accountability. I work hands-on with founders to challenge assumptions, clarify priorities and turn strategy into measurable execution.
