Santiago De La Torre Llorente

International business leader with a track record of scaling revenue and building high-impact ecosystems across fintech, legal, and platform-led businesses in the Americas, Europe, and APAC.

At Grace S. Nathan Advocates & Solicitors (GSN), I currently serve as Business Director overseeing the firm’s marketing, operations, finance, and business development functions. I’ve led the build-out of new commercial capabilities and growth initiatives—translating complex regulatory and compliance advisory work into clear, market-facing service offerings and a disciplined go-to-market approach. Through a hands-on, performance-driven operating model, I delivered 130% year-on-year revenue growth and scaled the team from 2 to 6 through bootstrapped, self-funded growth.

My experience spans fintech, legal services, ad tech, e-commerce, and travel distribution, shaped by senior roles at GSN, Seedflex, foodpanda, and Hotelbeds. Across these environments, I’ve driven growth by building strategic partnerships, opening distribution channels, and designing monetization models that improve adoption and retention. I work comfortably with founders, C-level stakeholders, and cross-functional teams, aligning product, operations, and commercial priorities to move from strategy to execution.

Having been based in Orlando, Berlin, Beijing, and Kuala Lumpur, I bring deep exposure to multicultural, cross-border environments and a relationship-driven approach grounded in strong negotiation and stakeholder management. I specialize in turning complex ecosystems into scalable, commercially successful platforms.
