About

At McKinsey & Company, I specialize in topics at the intersection of Consumer/Retail and Private Equity. I support clients in their commercial diligence process all the way through value creation (both top line and bottom line). I am passionate about understanding how consumer behavior shapes industries, informs investment theses, and ultimately impacts how to position businesses to capture growth. I am currently part of the New York office, but started in Casablanca where I supported clients across various sectors, from banking to energy and telco. Prior to joining McKinsey & Company, I worked as a consultant at The Walt Disney Company, and participated to their supply chain transformation program. I am a proud alumna of the Yale School of Management and HEC Paris.
