About

As the Chief Commercial Officer at Bboxx, I lead the global sales, marketing, and customer experience teams to deliver affordable and reliable clean energy solutions to millions of people living in off-grid communities across Africa and Asia. With over 10 years of experience in high-growth companies, I have a proven track record of designing and executing strategies that drive revenue, customer retention, and social impact. Before joining Bboxx, I was the Chief Marketing Officer and the Head of Products and Services at the same company, where I launched and scaled innovative products and services, such as Bboxx Pulse, Bboxx Cook, and Bboxx Home. I also built and managed a data-driven marketing function that increased brand awareness, customer loyalty, and market penetration. Prior to that, I was a consultant at BCG, where I advised clients in the energy, consumer, and public sectors on topics such as digital transformation, customer segmentation, and pricing. I hold a Master of Engineering degree in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London, with a year abroad at IQS - Universitad Ramon Llull in Barcelona. I am fluent in English, French, and Spanish. I am passionate about creating positive change in the world through technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. I believe that access to clean energy is a human right and a key enabler of economic and social development. I am motivated by the opportunity to work with a diverse and talented team at Bboxx, who share the same vision and values, and to partner with customers, investors, and stakeholders who support our mission. I am always eager to learn new skills, explore new markets, and tackle new challenges that will help me grow as a leader and as a person.
