— Where I come in —

You don't have a marketing problem. You have a commercial one.

The product works. The mission is real. Growth stalls where it gets hard — the first sale, the market you can't enter, the partner you can't reach, the deal that won't close. That's exactly what I'm brought in to fix.

We're in go-to-market. The real challenge is landing our first commercial sales — and raising enough funding to stay afloat until we do.

→I build the commercial engine that goes after them. Senior outreach, meetings and negotiation to move your product toward its first paying customers — plus warm introductions to the grants and capital that buy you runway. I run the work; you get a real shot at revenue.

There's a huge market for us across the Americas — but we have no team there, no network, and no warm doors.

→I open the market. Local credibility, the right partners, and your first qualified meetings booked — in-language, on the ground.

Our pipeline keeps stalling before the enterprise and C-level deals we actually need.

→I run senior BD end-to-end. From outreach to C-suite negotiation to signature — the full commercial cycle, not just introductions.

We need offtake, partners or capital — but the investors and we speak completely different languages.

→I bridge climate and finance.I've lived on both sides, so I translate your project into terms capital says yes to — and structure the deal.

Our founder is the only one who can really sell — and they're completely maxed out.

→I take the commercial load off the founder and build a pipeline that keeps moving without them in every call.

This is the exact gap I've spent thirteen years closing. Now for climate-tech — across the Europe–Americas corridor, and beyond when the mandate calls for it.

— What I Do —

Three ways I can help you grow.

Market access, built three ways — embedded in your team, as a focused project, or as your commercial representative on the ground. Most companies start with a Sprint or a Fractional retainer, and one senior partner is often all it takes to move the number.

André Rodríguez · Founder

The person you'll actually be working with.

No account managers, no hand-offs. When you work with SM360, you work with me.

I'm André Rodríguez — Peruvian, based in Frankfurt. I grew up in Arequipa, around a family business, learning early that everything commercial is really about people and trust.

Over thirteen-plus years I've worked across institutional sales, finance and climate technology — from reforestation in the Andes to enterprise deals in Europe. I built and sold my first company in Buenos Aires, grew market share for banks in Frankfurt, closed institutional deals in Zürich, and led business development across carbon markets on two continents.

“I found the place where I'm most useful: at the commercial edge of climate — where a good project meets the market, the partner, or the capital that lets it scale.”

Alongside it all I founded Arboriza21 — 100,000+ trees planted — and built one of the most-followed independent voices in sustainability. SM360 is where all of that now works for you: not theory, but thirteen years of actually closing.

— The Road Here —

— Common Questions —

Before we talk.

You get one senior operator with thirteen years of closing experience — embedded in your team, part-time — not a junior agency pod billing by the hour, and not a permanent headcount that costs six figures and months to ramp. I carry the relationships, do the work myself, and have skin in the game. Fewer people, more seniority, faster results.

I can start within days. A Market-Entry Sprint delivers a market map, target list and first qualified meetings in four to six weeks. On a retainer, pipeline-building begins in week one. That said, real deals in carbon, ESG and climate finance move on real sales cycles — I'll be honest up front about what's realistic for your case rather than promise overnight wins.

My focus is the Europe–Americas corridor — carbon markets, ESG, circular economy, plastic credits and climate finance — with deep networks in both Europe (Frankfurt, DACH, Benelux, Nordics) and Latin America (Peru, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil). For the right mandate I work globally. If your target market isn't a fit, I'll tell you on the first call.

Typically Seed to Series B climate-tech companies, carbon and nature-based project developers, ESG and MRV platforms, and funds — teams that need senior commercial firepower but aren't ready for (or don't want) a full-time VP of BD yet. If you're pre-product or purely looking for junior lead-gen, I'm probably not the right fit.

The Fractional Growth Partner is a monthly retainer (from €3,500, minimum three months). The Market-Entry Sprint is a fixed project fee (from €4,000). Representation and dealmaking mandates always combine a monthly retainer with a success fee — the retainer covers the work of building your market presence, the success fee aligns me with your outcome. Every engagement is scoped, and signed, before we start.

I work under NDA as standard. Your pipeline, your contacts, your strategy and your commercial data stay yours — always.

Book a 30-minute strategy call. We'll pressure-test where your growth is stuck and whether I can move it. If it's a fit, you get a scoped proposal. If it isn't, I'll tell you — and often point you to someone who is.
