MY BACKGROUND
Over the past years, I’ve worked at the intersection of brand strategy, product development, and consumer experience, primarily within a large international organisation and its local affiliate.
My roles have progressively evolved from execution-focused marketing support to end-to-end ownership of brand and portfolio topics, covering strategy definition, go-to-market orchestration, and cross-functional alignment across complex ecosystems.
What has remained constant is my role as a connector: aligning product, brand, commercial logic, and consumer understanding into coherent, actionable directions.
Core areas of experience include:
Brand & portfolio strategy.
Product development and go-to-market execution.
Omnichannel consumer experience (CRM, digital, retail).
Cross-functional and agency collaboration.
Creative direction grounded in business impact.
