about our founder and CEO
hey!
I’m Carlos Aguilera and I am the founder and CEO of cbm.. I started cbm. because I wanted to help increase the impact of charities around the world. why charities? because they are heroes in my eyes.
today, I am grateful that our data-driven marketing and fundraising brilliance is converting visitors into supporters and helping to raising millions for charities around the world.
at cbm. everything we do starts and ends with radical love of people. as a company we marry our brilliance [skills] with radical love. that’s our DNA. this is what makes us entirely unique as an agency.
our track record proves that our approach works.
I call Canberra home and whilst it may be the ‘official’ home of cbm. – we’re serving businesses and organisations around Australia and the world.
it is my live’s mission to make a difference in this world by injecting kindness, generosity and innovation to everything I do.
