About

Passionate about crafting impactful marketing strategies, I have worked with top-tier consumer, fashion, and luxury brands. My journey has been defined by building dynamic teams, strategizing effectively, and delivering projects that make a difference. My dedication to supporting executives in creating sustainable roadmaps, purpose-driven brand strategies, and navigating the complex worlds of digital transformation, AI, and Web3 sets me apart. I thrive in startup environments and bring a hands-on approach to temporary management and C-level mentorship. My deep professional network and intimate market knowledge empower me to find innovative solutions that drive success. Certified in Systemic Coaching, Team Coaching, Core Quadrant Professional, and Deeper Signals assessment, I combine these tools to enrich my brand strategy consultations. My goal is to help leaders and teams unlock their full potential, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and success. Let's create something remarkable together.
