I am a skilled marketing professional currently serving as a digital Assistant Brand Manager at Pepsi-Lipton International in London, UK. I excel in driving consumer-centric strategies, evidenced by my successful pioneering project of the 'Gen Z council' initiative, which has led to a TikTok following of 400k and the establishment of local social media teams in key markets like France. In my previous role as Assistant Brand Manager, I presented consumer-centric insights to stakeholders, resulting in improved market understanding and the successful launch of collaborative campaigns like 'Action ou Véri-thé!' on Snapchat in France. Fluent in English, French, and Persian/Farsi, I hold a degree in International Business with French & Marketing from the University of Strathclyde making me highly cross-culturally competent. Passionate about continuous learning, I am eager to relocate to France.
