About Compass & Co.
Senior experience. Practical partnership.
Compass & Co. brings senior marketing leadership, hands-on execution, and modern operating systems to growing companies—without the cost and complexity of building a full in-house team.
Built on more than 25 years of global marketing experience, we help businesses bring greater clarity, structure, and accountability to the work behind their growth.
Great marketing leadership shouldn’t require the biggest budget in the room.
Growing companies are often forced to choose between expensive agencies, costly executive hires, disconnected freelancers, or marketing that remains on the founder’s desk.
Compass & Co. was created to offer a better option.
We combine senior direction with practical execution, bringing strategy, content, campaigns, sales support, vendors, systems, and reporting into one coordinated marketing function.
The result is marketing that is easier to manage, more accountable, and built to grow with the business.

Meet the founder
Milena Santos Romay
Founder, Compass & Co.
Milena Santos Romay is a senior marketing and commercial leader with more than 25 years of experience across B2B and B2C organizations, global markets, and complex business environments.
Her work has spanned brand strategy, go-to-market planning, demand generation, commercial growth, sales enablement, communications, team leadership, and marketing operations across 32 countries.
Trilingual in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Milena brings deep familiarity with both U.S. and Latin American markets—not only through language, but through an understanding of how customers, teams, and businesses operate across different cultures.
Compass & Co. reflects the way she has always believed marketing should work: clear priorities, experienced leadership, direct communication, disciplined execution, and measurable progress.
A different kind of marketing partner
Compass & Co. is structured to give clients senior attention without unnecessary agency layers.
Strategy and client leadership remain close to the founder. Execution is supported by a curated network of experienced designers, developers, content creators, campaign specialists, and other trusted partners selected around the needs of each engagement.
Clients receive one coordinated marketing function, one accountable point of contact, and the flexibility to expand support as priorities evolve.
Senior-led
Every engagement begins with experienced strategic direction—not a handoff to a junior account team.
Built around the business
We identify what the company needs now, then create the priorities, systems, and level of support required for its next stage.
Close to the work
We do not deliver a presentation and disappear. We remain involved in building, executing, measuring, and improving the work.
Successful expansion requires more than translating a campaign.
It requires an understanding of how markets differ, how decisions are made, how teams communicate, and how a brand must adapt without losing its identity.
Compass & Co. supports U.S. companies navigating Latin American markets, Latin American businesses entering the United States, and organizations that need experienced leadership across both.
Our cross-market perspective helps businesses move with greater awareness, avoid unnecessary friction, and build strategies that reflect the customers and cultures they intend to serve.
Market fluency beyond translation
Direction is only valuable when it leads to action.
Compass & Co. pairs strategic clarity with the systems and execution required to move the business forward.
Senior direction. Real execution.
